Massive student turnout: 8,500 confirmed for Brain Bar

More than 8,500 participants have already registered for Brain Bar 2025, including over 150 full high school classes and thousands of university students! In addition to them, we’re expecting many more young talents, innovators, entrepreneurs, and scientific leaders to join us on September 18–19, 2025 at the House of Music Hungary, in the heart of Budapest.

For over a decade, Brain Bar has been inspiring young people to become active shapers of their own future. But the tools and knowledge needed for that – along with the unforgettable experience of the festival – should never be a privilege. That’s why, from the very beginning, the festival has been free for students and educators. If you haven’t already, you can still register for a free ticket!

At Brain Bar 2025, we’re expecting over 150 speakers from Hungary and around the world, all ready to prepare us for the challenges of the coming decades. Among them is Mara Einstein, a featured expert in Netflix's Buy Now!, who will expose the manipulative techniques of modern marketing. Emmy-nominated data storyteller Matt Daniels is set out to explain how complex statistics can be turned into dazzling visual narratives. Ali Fenwick, TikTok’s favorite psychologist, will take us inside the brain to explore the processes behind life-changing decisions. And British archaeologist David Wengrow will invite us to imagine what history might look like if it were told not through the lens of power, but through the stories of communities.
