About Us
Two special services – one experienced team
At Altagra, we have been specializing in organization and coordination for more than 25 years.
With one experienced team, we provide two specialized services.
Our primary focus is organizing conferences and events in Hungary.
In addition, we design and manage tailor-made programs in Hungary for international professional groups, with a particular focus on the agricultural sector.
Our Mission and The Origin of the Altagra name
The name Altagra reflects the values that define our company.
“ALTA” symbolizes excellence, high standards, and outstanding quality.
“AGRA” refers both to our structured, professional approach and to the agricultural sector, which is a key focus of our international study tours and technical programs.
Together, these elements form a brand that expresses our mission: to design and deliver carefully planned, high-quality conferences, events, and professional programs tailored to each client’s specific needs.
We provide comprehensive services
We provide comprehensive services for both domestic and international clients, taking the burden of logistics off their shoulders so they can focus on the professional content of their event. We manage every aspect of the organization, planning ahead, responding quickly, and resolving potential issues before they become problems.
We believe in tailor-made solutions
Every event and agricultural study tour is carefully tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We are personally present on site to ensure smooth execution and to make prompt, effective decisions whenever needed, helping every event run seamlessly from start to finish.
We are committed to every event
We believe that event management and professional travel planning achieve the best results when they are approached not simply as tasks, but with genuine dedication and enthusiasm every day. Our commitment and professional expertise are reflected in the long-term relationships we have built with our clients and partners.
For us, trust and personal relationships are the foundation of every successful partnership.
From the very first contact, we strive to build open, honest, and effective working relationships with our clients and partners, creating a strong foundation for successful long-term cooperation.
We care about the future of our profession
We are committed to passing on our knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to the next generation of professionals.
As part of this commitment, we maintain professional partnerships with the Budapest University of Economics and Business and the Budapest Metropolitan University. Over the years, we have provided numerous university students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in event management and professional travel planning, enabling them to graduate with practical expertise that goes far beyond the requirements of their mandatory internships.
Our Team
Kata Ihász
Kata Ihász, executive director
Every day, we have to face countless new challenges in both conference and travel management. I believe that my bold approach and highly motivated mindset to put my ideas and the tasks I have to tackle into practice takes our projects in the right direction.
The best feeling is when I can finally see in practice what we have been planning in theory together for weeks, months or even years; when I can put together in my head all the pieces of the puzzle of who has to do which task and when. It’s the most rewarding feeling that at the end of our events, the clients frequently ask us: “When are we planning the next one?” That’s what I work for: to plan and deliver a lifelong experience and share unique moments. When I’m succeeding at this, I’m able to have a bright smile my face even when I’m at my most tired.
I think the most outstanding achievement of my career is that I had the opportunity to build a company with colleagues with whom I have become close friends over the past 20-30 years. The fact that the office is not just a workplace for me, but a creative, cohesive and supportive place is the best professional achievement for me. I’m proud to be part of a team where striving to do your best work is combined with good atmosphere and humour, and everyone can be happy for each other’s successes while being able to reach their own goals too.
Éva Prieszol
Éva Priesztol, executive director
“The only certainty in life is change” – this is a statement that I pretty much consider to be my motto. Consequently, I have learned the ability of adapting very quickly to unexpected events in many areas of life really well. In conference and travel management, this ability is essential.
I also consider joining the Altagra team to be one of the best decisions of my life.
Andrea Vándor
Andrea Vándor, executive director
More than 30 years ago, I organised the first travel programme for an international group in Hungary. I am happy to be one of the leaders of Altagra today, using the knowledge I have gained over the years in tourism.
Serving our clients who have placed their trust in us at a high professional standard: this is the definition of Altagra for me. I am proud of the work of our company, which combines the professional experience of the team members with carrying on the legacy of our values created so far and the ability of tackling new challenges. I believe that our dedication impacts the work with our partners too and that it gives them security.
I am grateful that I can see my colleagues both as coworkers and good friends. It’s important to me that we build a strong, supportive community because that’s how we’re able to support our clients the most efficient way.
Cintia Pintér
Cintia Pintér, junior project manager
I have always been passionate about tourism, especially event organization, so I am grateful to have the opportunity to work in this field early in my career. Creating value through my work is a top priority for me. Our conferences offer not only a platform for sharing professional knowledge, but also for building connections, which I believe is one of the most valuable ascpects in today’s world.
Dóra Gyurina
Dóra Gyurina, junior project manager
As a junior project manager I mostly take part in the organisation of conferences and other events. As a recent graduate, I am very happy to have been able to start my career at Altagra. Here I get the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge of the event management industry and other various topics I have always been interested in. I try to do my work with passion and dedication, I believe that this approach will be my drive in the future too.

Sustainability – Responsible, Future-Focused Events and Travel
We believe that every event is an opportunity to create a positive impact on society and the environment.
At Altagra, sustainability is far more than a buzzword. ESG principles—Environmental, Social, and Governance—are at the heart of how we plan and deliver every event.
From venue selection and catering to supplier partnerships and waste management, every decision we make is guided by our commitment to minimizing environmental impact, supporting local communities, and ensuring transparent, ethical business practices.
Professional Events- Sustainable Solutions.
Our goal is to provide our clients with outstanding professional experiences while contributing together to a more sustainable and responsible events and tourism industry—whether through a business conference, an international workshop, a corporate event, or a group study tour.
At Altagra, we are committed to integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability into every project. Together with our partners, we work towards a more efficient, greener future while delivering exceptional results.
