Portfolio Group’s Agricultural Conference is one of the most prestigious agricultural events of the year. Originally a two-day event, the conference has expanded to three days, with the main sessions on 3–4 December now preceded by an opening evening on 2 December. This makes the event unique among Hungarian agricultural gatherings, offering rich professional programme for participants. The conference provides an assessment of the current state of the agricultural sector, outlines the short- and long-term development and breakout opportunities ahead, and presents reliable forecasts to support business decision-making. The event will present the most topical issues affecting the agri-food sector in a comprehensive and detailed way, providing extensive information on the processes that are crucial to the fate of agriculture, and, in addition to summarising and evaluating annual agricultural events, will also provide participants with a longer-term vision for informed development and investment decisions. At the conference, top executives from Hungary’s public administration, banking sector, corporate sphere, and professional associations will provide first-hand, relevant information that can serve as valuable insight for all players in the agri-food economy – from producers and food manufacturers to retailers. In addition, the event offers extensive opportunities for visibility and market development for companies serving the agricultural sector – including input manufacturers, integrators, machinery distributors, financial institutions, and other service providers. Beyond its rich and insightful programme, the conference provides a valuable platform for professional networking and business negotiations. In addition to high-level presentations and panel discussions, the event also includes entertaining segments to help participants unwind and recharge.

The HR (R)EVOLUTION 2025 – Powered by Prohuman & Pénzcentrum, co-organised by Pénzcentrum and Portfolio, is one of Hungary’s premier labour market and HR conferences; a meeting place for HR specialists and middle and senior managers of the most well-known Hungarian companies. The conference discusses the year’s most important labour market developments and HR trends, providing practical insights while creating opportunities for personal networking with industry leaders. The conference’s goal is to support executives and HR specialists across various fields in (re)designing key HR processes. Topics include recruitment, onboarding, employee retention, talent management, and work organisation, with a particular focus on white-collar employees. The event also covers employer brand development, as well as the importance of internal and external communication strategies. The event will also focus on how the HR revolution we are living through is increasingly converging with the ever-faster-paced evolution of HR. Thus, the conference’s theme will be strongly influenced by the digital transformation of the sector, and those attending the event will have the opportunity to gain up-to-date knowledge in this area. Today’s labour market demands a very different approach and far greater flexibility from companies than in the past. HR (R)EVOLUTION 2025 – Powered by Prohuman & Pénzcentrum is not only a professional forum but also one of the most effective business networking platforms for the sector, offering a real insight into the main challenges and future directions of the industry.

In recent years, corporate operations have undergone rapid digitalisation; paper-based processes are disappearing, and in-person visits to branches now occur only for the most complex cases where personal presence is still needed. Today, however, the digital landscape, including internal operations and customer-facing front ends, is being transformed by the AI revolution and its latest innovation, 'agentic AI'. These autonomous AI agents offer companies unprecedented speed and extraordinary efficiency gains across IT and business functions that were previously unimaginable. From financial institutions and manufacturing companies to IT vendors and telecom providers, every sector is under pressure to act. It has never been more critical to keep pace with competitors, avoid falling behind, and even gain a lead in today’s fiercely competitive environment. This was our first Portfolio AI in Business conference:

Now continuing under a new name and refreshed foundations, but with the same innovative spirit and professional focus, our former Construction Technology and Innovation Conference returns this year as the Future of Construction — the premier autumn networking and business summit for Hungary’s construction industry. The content remains as strong as ever! Efficiency in practice powered by the latest technologies. Cost efficiency, speed, accuracy, and workforce optimisation are among the most critical tasks for everyone. Technological innovations, digitalisation and robotisation, cutting-edge manufacturing, production and construction processes are penetrating and shaping every facet and player in the construction industry at an astonishing speed from design to construction. The challenges facing the sector, be it streamlining costs, reducing defects, achieving sustainability targets or meeting deadlines, can all be achieved through technological advances. But finding the best solutions and newest developments is not easy. Our Future of Construction conference wishes to help in this and bring together players year by year. After a decade of rapid growth in the domestic construction industry followed by recent challenging years, the time has come when only the designers and contractors equipped with the newest technologies and innovations, the most comprehensive knowledge and solutions can operate, find work, and develop efficiently.

We are organising our Banking Technology conference for the tenth time, one of the most important intellectual forums for the banking sector, the IT industry, and fintech companies, focusing on the competition between banks and fintech challengers, the digital transformation of financial institutions, and the key IT-business and technological development directions shaping the sector. The AI revolution has grown into the biggest technological megatrend of recent times, with the potential to reshape the banking sector’s operations, development priorities, and IT strategic goals. Which areas of banking operations does AI transform, and where can it help reduce costs and improve operational efficiency? In addition to the digital transformation of domestic banks, the event will also cover payment trends, cybersecurity issues, the growing threat of fraud, and innovations within the domestic fintech sector. For the tenth year, top banking executives, fintech gurus, consultants, regulators, and IT experts gather at our conference to share their insights on the most important business and IT issues affecting the banking sector. This was the Banking Technology 2024:  

The weather and geopolitical changes of recent years have strongly highlighted the urgent need for the green transition, as well as the fact that both supply security and affordability are critically important. This puts immense pressure on corporate decision-makers and Hungarian energy policymakers to find ways to meet this triple objective simultaneously. This pressure raises many questions, ranging from the procurement and domestic extraction of fossil fuels to network development tasks, increasing flexibility, and maximising the use of both weather-dependent and independent renewable energy production solutions. At the same time, there is an urgent need for more efficient energy use and a significant expansion of various energy storage solutions to ensure that the green transition and the use of clean energy sources can be a sustainable and progressive process, one that also requires a wide range of smart and digitalised solutions.          All of this brings many substantial topics to the surface; for this reason, Portfolio's traditional autumn energy summit, the Portfolio Energy Investment Forum, offers everyone an exceptional opportunity for networking and staying informed. We invite you to join our all-day, practice-oriented professional conference! This was the Energy Investment Forum 2024:

The Budapest Economic Forum is traditionally Portfolio’s flagship macroeconomic conference, which will be held for the fifteenth time on 7 October 2025. At the Budapest Economic Forum, we address every issue that currently concerns representatives of the economic and financial sectors, tailoring our programme each year to the hottest topics. Mainly, Hungarian company leaders, professional investors, and economic and business decision-makers participate in the conference. Each year, the invited speakers include the most renowned domestic and international analysts, experts, economists, and opinion leaders. Attendees can receive up-to-date and reliable information on current global and domestic economic and business developments that impact their companies' operations. Additionally, decision-makers will outline their potential plans, and the October timing is ideal for discussing the 2025 outlook, as with the year-end approaching, the focus increasingly shifts to the following year. This was the Budapest Economic Forum 2024:

A new optimum is beginning to emerge in Hungarian healthcare. The private sector has truly found its footing, driven by continuous developments and investments, with an ever‑wider array of specialities and a parallel increase in complexity. At the same time, a recovery in consumer demand—driven by improving consumer sentiment and the easing of inflation—was essential, and it is no less significant that the public healthcare system shows no signs of improvement, prompting growing calls for substantive intervention for a comprehensive reform of Hungarian healthcare. In this context and operating environment, the sector’s most influential players, key opinion leaders, foremost figures, and the leading representatives of the ecosystem surrounding private healthcare companies will convene at the ninth Private Health Forum. Our invited speakers and the hundreds of professional participants will discuss in multiple concurrent sessions, for example, the future direction of the domestic healthcare system, how this will impact the operations of private providers, which segments of the sector could be the relative winners or losers in the coming period, where capacity should be increased, where significant growth potential still exists, and where the market is already saturated and competition is fierce. Naturally, we will also showcase the latest trends and indeed lead the market in these areas by placing a strong emphasis on innovative digital solutions, the importance of prevention, and the shared responsibility of individuals and professionals in maintaining health. This is what Private Health Forum 2025 was like:

This year marks the 21st edition of the Portfolio Property Investment Forum (PIF), the key event where the most influential voices and decision-makers of the Hungarian real estate market come together. With the war still ongoing in our neighbouring country, Trump reshaping the global landscape with enormous momentum, and Hungary's domestic stance and direction requiring constant attention, the world is experiencing extraordinary technological, societal, and economic transformation. But what lies ahead? Has the market regained strength this year? Are we seeing a rebound, or will the wait continue? The new world order that has emerged in recent years has caused serious damage to some sub-markets while other areas have experienced tremendous progress and development. Yet, the transition between the old and new world appears far from over, with power dynamics still in flux. We may be more aware of the real damage and the concrete changes and transformations, but it will be many years (if ever) before we reach a new equilibrium. Rebuilding the market and placing it on new foundations, inserting the new normal remains our task. Nowadays, change should not be seen as a threat but as an opportunity to be seized and leveraged, increasingly supported by fresh knowledge! There could not be a better occasion to create the informational and networking background to successfully develop our company, business model, and investments than a personal meeting where this vibrant, lively market full of professional contacts and friendships, the world of professional real estate practitioners, can come together, shake hands, drink merrily, celebrate again, and, naturally, exchange opinions, debate, and listen to the market’s influencers on the most important professional and business questions for the 21st time now. In 2025, we will once again bring together the most important players in the Hungarian real estate sector at the InterContinental Hotel. The full-day event will offer a comprehensive programme covering a wide range of topics including investments, development, financing, macroeconomic trends, technological innovations, home office trends, operations, retail, hospitality, e-commerce and logistics, the housing market, alternative assets, as well as marketing and digitalisation. Do not miss out on the event of the year! Let us meet again! This Was the Property Investment Forum 2024:
