After five years, the Debrecen City Ball will be held again in January 2025.
The city is organising the event with the University of Debrecen and the Hajdú-Bihar County Chamber of Commerce and Industry. On this occasion, it will once again be a charity event, this time supporting talented Debrecen students.
The event will take place in the Kölcsey Centre, where guests will be welcomed in several venues with different themes. A new element will be the so-called silent auction, the proceeds of which will be donated to charity.
“In putting together the whole program, we have tried to create a modern program that is both traditional and civil, but also of high quality, so that everyone can enjoy themselves,” Managing Director of Főnix Event Organiser Ltd., Zita Dobos said.
A charity event always accompanies the City Ball. This time, the money raised at the event will support talented students from Debrecen who demonstrate outstanding performance in the fields of culture, sports, and the arts and who come forward with ideas focused on research and development.
“Talents are of great importance for the future of Debrecen, and I can say that the city is building its future on local talents. That is why the ball now also sets itself the goal of nurturing and supporting talents,” Mayor László Papp emphasised.
Rector Zoltán Szilvássy said, “Debrecen has always been the second most important city in the country. The oldest chamber of industry operating here, the 500-year-old university and the city together form a unique cultural circle.”
“It has a history. It is a special, precious tradition in Debrecen that the Chamber, the City, and the University do something together, especially if it is a ball,” Rector of the University of Debrecen, Zoltán Szilvássy highlighted.
“The County Chamber considers this social event important. In the 175 years since the organisation was founded, these events have been significant from both a social and a business point of view. Entrepreneurs are very fond of the ball. Many decisions are made at these events that might not otherwise be made in the same way in everyday life. And besides having fun, it is an opportunity to build relationships and talk a lot,” Secretary General of the Hajdú-Bihar County Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Éva Skultéti, said.
The Debrecen City Ball will be held on the 25th of January, 2025.
