Brain Bar is an annual event held in Budapest, Hungary. It has been referred to as "a sort of South By Southwest on the Danube" as it is both a tech conference and a music festival.[1]

In addition to keynote presentations, it also features roundtable talks and debates that set up opposing viewpoints against each other, meant to encourage audience members' participation. The festival also has DJ sets, live music and dance as an integral part of the program.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

History

Brain Bar was founded 2015[citation needed] by Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy with the goal of creating a platform concerned mostly with future studies.[9][10][11][12] The event grapples with future scenarios in the areas of technology, business, politics and lifestyle. Its talks are supposed to challenge commonly held beliefs.[13][14]

In 2017 the platform "Future Jobs" was launched, which offers jobs from the fields of communication, design, IT, services and business and claimes to be a "opportunity for young people to learn what employers are looking for, to inform educators about the requirements of tomorrow, and to help employers learn more about today’s talent."[15] In 2018, Brain Bar launched its business-focused workshops, called "Mastermind Sessions".[16]

In 2019 the event attracted 15,000 attendees, the livestream audience was 50,000.[17][18] A large number of tickets (5,000) were given away for free to European students and teachers.[19][20]
