You can also get a taxi at the airport. There is a huge counter right outside the building, don't stop for people offering rides in the waiting hall.
If you prefer public transportation, you can take the bus 100E directly to the center of Budapest called Deak Ferenc Square for 900 HUF (3 Euros). The ride takes 30 minutes.( for more information about this route: https://bkk.hu/en/airport-shuttle/ ) From the city center, you can plan the trip by the BKK local transportation service: https://futar.bkk.hu/, or of course google maps. You need ticket for the public transportation: Single tickets priced 350 HUF can be purchased at the airport post office, at the BKK customer points located in the arrivals halls, at the newsagents (Relay) and from ticket machines at the bus, tram, and subway stops.
To get to the conference venue, the best option is to take the Tram 4-6 to "Petőfi Híd, Budai Hídfő" or one of the buses that stop there. The conference dinner will be near another Tram 4-6 stop.
Accommodation: There’s plenty of affordable hostels in Budapest as well as higher standard hotels. Generally, szallas.com, booking.com, and Airbnb always offer a huge number of options, but it is better to book as early as possible as December is a busy month in terms of tourism in Hungary because of Christmas events.
Before booking, make sure you have a good public transport connection to the venue using the official public transport site: https://futar.bkk.hu. The "Futár" smartphone app is also quite useful.
