Kölcsey Conference Center
WORK WITH STYLE
IN DEBRECEN
In Debrecen, even work can feel like
relaxation. Attending an event at the
new conference center (second in
size only to some Budapest
facilities)? Feel free to have a
leisurely stroll between seminars in
the historic downtown nearby.
Főnix Hall can assume almost any
form or layout to meet the
requirements of the various events
it houses. This has been proved by
top-notch shows of the Deep
Purple, David Copperfield, or Paco
de Lucia. To convert the arena into a
skating rink for the purposes of the
Speed Skating World Championship
was also routine operation. If you
choose Debrecen as the venue of
your company’s team-building
session, our facilities won’t
disappoint. Nor will the leisure-time
activities, given that the options are
manifold, no matter if you crave for
cultural adventures, hilarious
concerts, relaxing spa treatment, or
uniquely special gastro-expeditions
complete with short trips in the
region. Debrecen is the ideal venue
for various MICE Program sessions
from seminars to training classes, to
international conferences with
thousands in attendance.
