The I. Hungary Pen Show starts on Saturday!

We talked with Sándor Pethő regarding the event. Contented Marketing Agency at their headquarters, where Marcell Csordás and his great team hosted us.

The I. Hungary Pen Show, the most anticipated domestic event for fans of writing instruments, inks, and papers, will take place on November 11, 2023, at Lurdy Ház. In the background, there has been intense preparatory work going on for months.

For half a year, I have been following how the main organizers: Máté Bikfalvi and Sándor Pethő are putting not only their hearts and souls but also their free time (and of course their money) into this event. Countless personal and phone consultations, meetings, and emails are behind them. They believe in this event, which has never been held in Hungary before.
On Saturday, the stars will finally align: the I. Hungary Pen Show will finally open its doors. If you can, come and meet the exhibitors and fellow collectors. It is an honor for me to be there with the guys all day – I hope to meet many of you in person.

After my interview with the organizers in October, we received an invitation to the podcast studio of Contented Marketing Agency, where we will discuss the following topics with agency leader Marcell Csordás:

  1. Where did the love for writing instruments begin?
  2. Does writing instrument collecting have a history in Hungary?
  3. How does someone become a fan of writing instruments?
  4. Are there communities in Hungary that specialize in writing instrument collecting?
  5. What inspiration led to the organization of the I. Hungary Pen Show?
  6. What were the goals set regarding the event?
  7. What types of writing instruments can visitors expect to see at the I. Hungary Pen Show?
