Lessons from 'The Lab': 16 years of Hungarian resistance

Hungary is often called the laboratory of modern autocracy - but it has also become a laboratory for survival, innovation, and grit. Join us for a deep dive into what 16 years on the frontlines of illiberalism actually teaches you.

From the technicalities of crowdfunding under pressure and navigating legal warfare to the psychological toll of long-term opposition, our panel of Hungarian politicians, activists and journalists will share what worked, what failed, and what the rest of the world needs to know when the bad guys show up at their door.
