Conferences in Iceland

Upon arrival a shuttle bus will be waiting to take you for a revitalising dip in the Blue Lagoon, giving you an unforgettable start to your business trip. The shuttle bus takes approximately 20 minutes. The Blue Lagoon is an outdoor pool that gets its water directly from geothermal sources as deep as 2000 metres under ground and with water that retains a pleasant temperature of 36–39° all year round.  

Relax with your colleagues in beautiful surroundings and energise yourselves before heading on to the capital city to check into your hotel. In the evening, you will be able to enjoy dinner at one of Reykjavík’s many restaurants. You can even sample some of the local nightlife if you have energy and time after your meal.

Discuss the future of your business among colleagues in a stimulating and beautiful environment. The day will consist of two conference sessions with a break for lunch. Several hotels offer excellent conference facilities, and there is also a wide range of other options such as the Harpan Concert & Conference Centre or the facilities at the Blue Lagoon.

The evening will once again be free for dinner at one of Reykjavík’s many restaurants. Icelandic cuisine is of the highest class. The ingredients used are fresh and often local. Icelanders eat a lot of fish and lamb and restaurants in the city offer both traditional fare as well as delicacies from all four corners of the world.

Any successful conference trip will always combine business with pleasure! The day begins with a visit to some of Iceland’s natural wonders. The tour starts in Reykjavík and takes in the gorgeous Thingvellir National Park. Iceland is located on top of a rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, and Thingvellir is a great place to observe the fault that is forming as the two continents slowly drift apart from one another.

After a quick stop for lunch you can then travel onwards to the most active geyser in Iceland, Strokkur. With its regular eruptions every five minutes, you will have several chances to experience the majestic cascade of water that is thrown up into the sky each time the geyser goes off. The next stop of the day is Gullfoss, a waterfall in two steps that offers visitors the chance to get up close to its mighty rushing waters as they hurtle over the cliff and down into a ravine.

On the way back to Reykjavík you will pass through the town of Hveragerdi where fruits and vegetables are grown in greenhouses heated from geothermal sources. You will be back at the hotel by around 17:00. In the evening, you will be able to enjoy an exquisite dinner together at one of Reykjavík’s many restaurants.

Round off the evening in a cosy pub or on a rocking dance floor. Iceland’s night life is just as hot as its hot springs! Most bars and nightclubs are located closely together in central Reykjavík, so get the gang together one last time and set off on a pub crawl – the perfect way to round off your visit to Iceland and your conference getaway.
