CONFEC BLUE 10

Mainland European Buyers meet European Suppliers

24 June - 27 June 2010

Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal*****, Budapest, Hungary

The fourth CONFEC BLUE meeting forum will take place from 24 June - 27 June 2010 in the magnificent Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal in the heart of Budapest. Beautifully transformed in 2003, the hotel’s opulent history was reborn, retaining the splendour of the original interior and fronted by a breathtaking historical façade. The Royal Spa has also been faithfully restored to a modern day spa haven. The programme will include a taste of this fascinating city’s hidden secrets and will include a summer night on the Danube.

The first CONFEC BLUE took place on the delightful island of Cyprus. The second CONFEC BLUE was held on the wonderfully historic island of Malta and last year was held on the Algarve in the newly launched 5 star luxury Tivoli Victoria.

CONFEC BLUE is established as an extremely effective forum for the key European markets and has a waiting list each year for delegate places.

The best conference of all I know. Excellent organisation and high quality of suppliers.

I attended for the first time and I am really glad I did! It was fun, good networking and we have already seen the ROI for Stockholm.

It was my first time ... I met with some very important buyers. Great business, key clients (the quality of buyers was high) and most enjoyable.
