From September 17–18, Brain Bar, one of Europe’s best-known future festivals, will take place once again!
The two-day event explores how our world may change over the coming decades and what challenges we will face in technology, science, society, and everyday life.
The festival features international and Hungarian speakers, thought-provoking talks, discussions, debates, and interactive programs. One of Brain Bar’s special features is that it is not afraid to tackle difficult or controversial questions. The festival encourages visitors to rethink what they previously believed to be certain about the world.
This year’s speakers include mathematician David Bessis, Lily Rafferty, former social media manager at Ryanair and Duolingo, and Sándor Jászberényi, former war correspondent and bestselling author.
Brain Bar is not only for those interested in technology or science. It is also a great event for anyone curious about how we will work, learn, think, and live in the future, and for those looking to discover new perspectives from inspiring speakers.
