Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hungary

07/10/2026

Some evenings become part of a business community's story.

For more than three decades, the CCCH Lobster Dinner has been one of those rare, timeless occasions. It is an evening where formal networking gives way to genuine connection, and where shared history meets new opportunities.

On November 7, the InterContinental Budapest will once again set the scene for an evening that brings together business leaders, members and friends of the Canadian-Hungarian business community.

Think beautifully set tables, Nova Scotia lobster, cocktails, live music and the atmosphere that comes when a room full of accomplished people is entirely present in the moment.

The evening unfolds at its own pace — over dinner, across the room, between familiar faces and new introductions. Guests will also have the opportunity to discover an exclusive display by our official exhibitor, TŌTHBORI, adding a touch of fashion and design to the night.

Due to high demand, we are pleased to extend last year’s preferred rates until October 14.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our generous sponsors for making this event possible.

TOTHBORI - a distinctive vision of contemporary femininity

We are pleased to welcome TOTHBORI, the Hungarian fashion brand founded by designer Bori Tóth, as an exhibitor at our upcoming event.

Rooted in contemporary design yet guided by a timeless sensibility, TOTHBORI explores femininity through distinctive silhouettes, original patterns and carefully considered details. The brand’s collections are not defined by passing trends, but by pieces designed to remain relevant beyond a single season, becoming enduring elements of a personal wardrobe.

At the heart of TOTHBORI is a belief in individuality: in designs that have their own character, in patterns created specifically for the brand, and in the balance between contemporary expression and lasting elegance.

For our event, TOTHBORI will bring this distinctive world to life through a curated selection of eveningwear and exclusive designs, presented in an intimate setting.
We look forward to introducing our guests to the world of TOTHBORI - where fashion is not simply about what is worn today, but about creating pieces that continue to speak to us over time.

Stratford: A Cultural Urban Model

How do you transform an industrial railway town into a world-class cultural capital? Art is Business explores this remarkable urban evolution through the lens of Stratford, Ontario—one of Canada’s most fascinating living examples of a culture-driven community.

Far beyond a traditional municipality, Stratford has proven that the arts are not just a luxury, but a powerful engine for urban development. Its success is built on a few essential pillars: a world-renowned cultural core anchored by the Stratford Festival, a seamless community synergy that blends tourism with commerce, and a proven economic resilience where creativity drives long-term growth.

What a memorable couple of days for our chamber family!

Our board directors Eszter Jacobs and Paul Tonelli represented the chamber at BUD Air Cargo Day, which proved to be an exceptionally high-standard, top-tier event. From invaluable industry insights to reconnecting with wonderful colleagues across the sector, it was a truly inspiring day of professional networking.

To top it all off, Eszter Nelli Jacobs was joined by Jozsef Hajdu to lace up their running shoes for the Runway Run! 🏃‍♀️ On this unique day of the year, runners take over Budapest Airport’s Runway 1 instead of airplanes. Beyond the thrill of running on the runway, the event serves a higher purpose: all registration fees go directly to two incredible causes—the SUHANJ! Foundation, supporting sports opportunities for people living with disabilities and the Ments Életet Foundation, helping sick children to recover. Sharing the track with the inspiring SUHANJ! team made the experience truly humbling and unforgettable for our two runners.

The Toronto International Film Festival

Throughout this month's special series on Canada - exploring its creative landscape, multicultural identity, and dual-language framework - Art is Business highlights one of the country's greatest cultural exports: the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Far beyond a red-carpet event, TIFF has grown into one of the world's most influential film markets - often recognized as North America's answer to Cannes. Its evolution into a global industry heavyweight illustrates the core strengths of Canadian cultural policy:
-Inclusivity & Access: Blending mainstream blockbusters with independent cinema to engage both industry executives and the public.
-Commercial Viability: While skipping traditional jury prizes, its People’s Choice Award has become the film industry's most reliable indicator of box-office and Oscar success.
-Economic Impact: Driving significant tourism, investment, and trade partnerships within the global entertainment sector.
Read the latest article from Art is Business exploring TIFF’s legacy, evolution, and global influence.

What makes Canada’s cultural landscape so distinctive?

Throughout the month, Art is Business is dedicating its content to Canada, exploring the country’s cultural and creative industries, bilingual heritage and multicultural approach.

Canada’s diversity has shaped not only its society, but also its cultural and creative landscape. It is a country where different cultural influences meet – and where culture, business and social responsibility increasingly intersect.
As the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hungary, we are particularly pleased to see Canada in focus throughout the month.
