Organizers ITL Group promise the Budapest Business Party, an annual event with a history of more than a decade, will be truly special this year. Unlike previous editions, where the boat remained docked, in 2025 it will “set sail for success” on a sunset cruise along the Danube.
So, mark your calendars for Friday, June 6, from 7-11 p.m., as the River Diva sets the stage for an unforgettable night. The advice is to be at the boat by 7:45 p.m. at the latest so as not to miss its departure at 8 p.m. prompt.
This year’s Budapest Business Party carries extra significance as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of ITL Group.
“For three decades, ITL Group has been about building bridges and fostering connections within the vibrant Hungarian business community. This year’s Budapest Business Party, celebrating this milestone on the enchanting waters of the Danube, symbolizes that journey perfectly,” says Alessandro Farina, managing director of ITL Group.
“Setting sail isn’t just a change of venue; it’s a metaphor for the exciting future we’re building together. Join us for an evening where relationships flourish against the backdrop of Budapest’s stunning sunset; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss,” he promises.
The HUF 18,000 ticket price includes entrance to the River Diva and a complimentary welcome drink, followed by a two-hour Danube sunset cruise, offering unparalleled river views of Budapest’s landmarks bathed in the golden light of dusk.
Guests can also participate in interactive networking activities and enjoy entertainment designed to spark conversations and build relationships with key industry players. Themed corners and dedicated spaces on board will provide opportunities to delve playfully into various fields of business and innovation.
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy a delectable selection of food and beverages available for purchase at many bars and food stations located throughout the two decks of the River Diva. From exquisite wines and expertly crafted cocktails to gourmet bites and tempting desserts, the onboard service is designed to cater to every palate and complement the overall experience.
Aboard the River Diva, the evening will feature special moments to honor ITL Group’s journey, celebrating the trust, partnerships, and shared vision that have defined the company’s success. According to ITL Group, this is an opportunity for old and new friends to join the celebration and raise a glass to past achievements and future endeavors.
