The event which is dedicated to the study of American culture and the strengthening of Hungarian-American ties was the initiation of then guest Fulbright Professor, Dr. Scott Campbell from Nazareth College, Rochester, NY in 2008 and has become a widely known, popular and successful encounter between Hungarian and American lecturers, professors, officials and professionals to the benefit of both the inhabitants of the town and its environs in general and high school and university students in particular.
