Programzáró

Programzáró is a Hungarian term that refers to the closing segment of a program, event, or broadcast. It designates the portion that formally ends the program and guides participants from the event to its afterward activities. The term combines the word program with the suffix záró, meaning closing, and is used mainly in event management, broadcasting, and media contexts.

In live events such as conferences, festivals, or school programs, the programzáró typically includes brief closing remarks by the host, acknowledgement of speakers, organizers, sponsors, and volunteers, a recap of the event’s highlights, announcements about follow-up actions or future events, and often a final performance, video summary, or musical closer. It may also contain practical information, such as where to collect materials or how to access recordings, and a note of gratitude.

In television and online broadcasting, the programzáró or closing block serves to present credits, remind viewers of upcoming schedules or notices, and provide a transition to advertisements or post-event content. The exact form varies with format, length, and audience expectations, but the purpose remains to provide a coherent and courteous end to the program.

Related terms include záróesemény (closing event) and záró program; in practice, organizers plan the programzáró in alignment with the overall program flow to ensure a smooth conclusion and clear signals for subsequent steps.
