  • Comment: This still needs all additional major news publications, but no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews and business journals (as these are simply local news stories); focus with actual major news publications. SwisterTwister talk 21:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Brain Bar Budapest develops various formats for on-stage debates in order to establish a holistic viewpoint and to encourage the audience to form their own opinions.[3] In addition to keynote talks and debates, the festival hosts artistic performances including DJ sets and mini shows as an integral part of the program.[4][5]

Among the speakers, the festival welcomed Chris Hadfield, Sir Martin Sorrell, Niall Ferguson, Sugata Mitra, Virginia Postrel and Philip Zimbardo alongside with over 200 other speakers from more than 25 countries.
