Exhibition centers in Budapest District IX
Exhibition centers in Budapest District IX suit organizers who need a hall for a trade show, a conference with a parallel expo area, or a cultural programme with room for stands. The district offers three very different hosts: a convention center by Fővám tér, a large event venue on Könyves Kálmán körút, and a cultural centre on Soroksári út. Each sets its own terms for exhibition space, so the layout and the technical needs decide which one fits.

Three hosts with different floor plans
Bálna at Fővám tér 11-12 is a convention center whose building also holds shops, restaurants, cafes and a contemporary art gallery, so guests find dining and culture on site. Its car park, entrance and toilet are wheelchair-accessible. Lurdy Conference and Event Center on Könyves Kálmán körút 12-14 states close to 4000 square metres of space for 50 to 1000 guests, with exhibition space, lecture and conference rooms, catering and rentable event technology.
Bakelit Multi Art Center on Soroksári út 164 is a cultural centre, live music venue and performing arts theatre. More than 2000 square metres can be rented, including a theatre hall of almost 200 square metres, a 260-square-metre hangar, and rehearsal and exhibition rooms. A bar counter and foyer serve standing receptions and exhibitions, and the venue lists art exhibitions and theatre performances among its occasions.
Matching the hall to the programme
Start with the stand count and the technical plan, then compare what each house states. Lurdy names exhibition space, conference rooms, catering and rentable event technology in its own description, which simplifies briefing suppliers. Bálna does not state specific event types, so its team is the right source on conference layouts, private hire and what each space can take. Bakelit offers a foyer and bar counter for receptions and exhibitions alongside theatre and rehearsal rooms.
Accessibility is worth checking against the guest list: all three venues note wheelchair-accessible entrance, and Bálna and Lurdy also cite accessible parking and toilets. Bakelit is also listed as a wedding venue and wedding service. Confirm hire terms, catering arrangements and technical support in writing with the venue.
Questions to settle with the venue
The listings describe the buildings, not the contract. One clear point to confirm with each venue: which spaces are available for private hire, and what the hire includes in terms of technology, catering and staffing.

Is Bálna suitable for an exhibition with a conference?
