Sustainable business events
in Budapest
and beyond.
DMC services to leave a lasting impact on your audience.
Not the environment.
You want your event to be perfect. Memorable, professional, trouble-free. You want your colleagues to connect, your budget to be well-spent, the overall experience to be spoken of. You might be thinking it can’t be all those things and be sustainable at the same time.
Well, it can. And it can be even more.
We are creating holistic incentive tours and meetings in Budapest and other parts of Hungary for small and medium groups – that is how we can provide your team with the best programs, catering, venues and transportation without harming the environment.
Our services include transportation, activities & programs, providing tour guides, booking hotels and off-site venues, green catering and event decorations, logistics, event technology, furniture and carbon neutralisation.
All sustainable.

The 7 piers of sustainable
destination management
1/7
Think global, act local
We know how to choose local and seasonal resources for your zero footprint catering, we know the best hotels, suppliers, partners and venues. Just as we know everything about the international meeting industry trends, employee experience and building your brand’s image. We can be your tour guide while keeping in mind who you are.
2/7
It all starts with planning
We’ll make sure your event is sustainable by planning ahead. Catering, programs, travelling, waste-management and every other little detail have to remain in the loop. We are working circularly, while keeping the 5R of sustainability (refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, rot) in mind.
3/7
A green venue does half the work
If you choose a location that’s already operating sustainably, you’re already halfway there! A green venue and an open-minded staff can save you a load of resources. No matter if you’re planning a press conference, a meeting, a workshop, a teambuilding or a gala dinner, we’ll find the perfect eco-friendly venue or green hotel for you.
4/7
Spend some quality team time
With our professional network all you have to care about is to learn and connect while having fun! Budapest is the best place to build your team. We provide flawless tech and audio-visual services for your meetings, training, conference or workshop. We offer wonderful stage productions, guided sightseeings, fam trips, incentive tours, and nightlife programs. We can also support your branding goals by educating your guests about sustainability.
5/7
Carbon-footprint? Zero!
Sustainable events don’t mean walking all day. We encourage you to use electric cars when possible, and you can always offset your carbon footprint with WWF. But if you’d like something adventurous and sustainable, we’ve got you covered! Have you ever travelled with your team in your own train wagon while playing detective-games, just like in an Agatha Christie movie? Make a memory rather than just transporting!
6/7
Sustainable catering services
When organising the catering for your event, we compose the menu with special care. We consider seasonality, choose local ingredients and you’ll offer your guests vegetarian and vegan options. They’ll be happy to get tableware made of porcelain, glass and metal, so much fancier than plastic and paper options! With precise planning you can minimise foodwaste. Remember, the best waste is the one you’ve prevented.
7/7
Branding & Styling
Outdoor locations have a naturally fresh energy to make your team building or family day delightful without any manufactured decoration. Greenery is bringing a sense of calmness inside as well. Let’s create an inspiring environment with stylish decorations! Furniture, textile and partitions are rented. Branding tools are digitised and made by a creative team to support your brand image and make your event truly remarkable.
Meet your team
If you want to make sure your event is going to be exquisite, organised smoothly, quickly and with care, you’ve found your team. With decade-long experience and a broad network of like-minded meetings industry professionals we can ensure you’ll have a remarkable experience in Hungary.
When you need local guides, transportation coordinators, environmental engineers, creators, innovators, professionals, party planners, quizmasters or even body painters, we’ll be there. We know every place you have to see, every partner worth working with, every possibility to go green, every chance to connect.
Let us show you how you can live Budapest to the fullest, while keeping your footprint the smallest.

Events we’re proud of
SEON. Fraud Fighters, Team Building
In a real diverse agenda for a modern start-up community it is almost a must to offer an artisan program. We organised a team building event for 250 young developers from all around the world, specialised in cyber-risk management, with various different elements, such as sports, games, talks and yes, embroidery.
Bethesda Hospital, Charity Gala
A charity auction for the Bethesda Children’s Hospital where we provided our best asset: professional support to make the event astonishing and carbon-neutralised. One of our most moving projects, rewarded with a Marketing Diamond Award by the Hungarian Marketing Association.
Volkswagen, Caddy California press conference
Caddy California is not just a van for modern part-time hippies. It’s a lifestyle. We made sure that every element of the product demonstration event radiates this feeling of freedom. Eating great food, listening to the fire’s rustling, having meaningful conversations under the starry night.
Syngenta, Sports day
We brought summertime lake-side to Budapest for a team building event for around 100 people, a lot of them arrived from Geneva to Hungary to spend a few days in the heart of Europe. The client asked for an active, sporty event, where they can let the healthy competitive spirit out of the bottle.
Fundamenta, Day of Success
The greatest award ceremony we’ve ever organised (or witnessed). With 800 sales representatives we really had to go monumental. The participants filled a sports hall and so did the stage production: among others, we worked with Smarteq, one of the most innovative technical companies in Hungary, to create a spectacular laser-show to keep guests entertained.
Saubermacher, Site opening ceremony
The international waste-management company just reached a huge milestone when opening their new recycling facility - and we were there to make the ceremony an outstanding get-together. We still like to think about the time we made top managers in suits to grab a shovel and plant some trees!
Syngenta Services, teambuilding sports day
After a long time without seeing each other because of the pandemic, management wanted a fun, leisurely event to leave every difficulty behind. We organised a teambuilding event for approximately 100 people, emphasising active and sports-oriented activities. All in a summer environment, by the waterside.
Wienerberger, Christmas Party
Nothing embellishes a glamorous Christmas Party better than Hotel Hilton. No other decorations needed. Catering made green, food waste minimised, energy consumption neutralised. Now, that is a merry Christmas!
Budapest Airport, Party for Santa Claus
Santa arrived in Hungary by air and we threw a party for him right there at Budapest Airport! Charming event branding tools, fluffy beanbags and a little bit of digital magic made the event jolly for the kids, the parents and for the client.
CraftHub, Tech conference
We designed stage views for a huge tech conference for CraftHub. The client asked for a visual that emphasises the theme of the conferences without dominating the stage where the presentations took place. So, we did exactly that!
Syngenta Services Teambuilding, Budapest tour
Two separate teams simultaneously embarked on a city sightseeing adventure, exploring the historical landmarks of Budapest and engaging in exciting challenges.

The continuously expanding literature exploring the relationship between climate change and mental health reveals more and more evidence supporting the idea that extreme weather events can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression (MDD), anxiety, grief, survivor guilt, and suicidal thoughts. Paradoxically, these events can inspire altruism, optimism, and action, which can help alleviate mental burdens. Climate change affects our mental health, but how we respond to it is crucial to how.
