WELCOME TO ICELAND
Iceland Congress, Incentives & Events, is an award-winning conference
organizer and incentives planner, ready to help create your next event.
Organizing a large-scale event in a small country like Ice-
land can be a challenging task if you don’t know where to
begin. Iceland Congress is one of the most recognized event
management companies in Iceland, specializing in planning cor-
porate conferences and meetings in the capital, as well as out-
side Reykjavík. Founded in 2007, Iceland Congress is a small,
family-owned business that is a member of several international
organizations, including the reputable Society of Incentive Trav-
el Executives (SITE). With an extensive network throughout the
country, Iceland Congress can find the perfect location for any
occasion; whether it’s a large conference to be held in Harpa
Concert Hall and Conference Centre, or more intimate venues
for smaller gatherings. The staff consists of a multi-lingual team
of professionals, dedicated to helping clients navigate through
the intricacies of event planning in Iceland. Services include ven-
ue selection, air and hotel bookings, translation services, budget
management, marketing and website construction.
AWARD-WINNING COMPANY
Iceland Congress recently won the prestigious Crystal Award
for Excellence in Incentive Travel in Europe 2015; it’s the first
time a company in Iceland has taken the award. Presented by
the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence, the award is given for
the design of unique, memorable group travel experiences that
deliver measurable benefits. “We are very proud of this award,”
says Sigrún Sigurðardóttir, owner and CEO of Iceland Congress.
“Our vision is to create high level congresses with focus on de-
tails from the first concept to the last stage of operation, as well
as planning unforgettable incentive programs, and it’s wonderful
to be recognized.”
THRILLING INCENTIVES
Indeed, Iceland Congress takes great pride in its incentives pro-
gram, where the team tailors each event with every detail con-
sidered. While Iceland is a small nation, there are countless activ-
ities to participate in and sights to see. Sites to visit can include
bathing in the sublime Blue Lagoon, surveying powerful water-
falls, fishing in lakes and rivers, climbing mountains and walking
the perimeters of volcanic craters, hiking the highlands in the
summer, and hunting northern lights in the winter. Programs can
be purely for pleasure, or can be tailored team-building exercis-
es. The possibilities are limitless.
Iceland is increasingly being chosen as a unique destination for
events year-round, as it’s easy to access, with low risk factors and
is very sustainable. Iceland Congress is ready to plan your next
conference, meeting, or incentive program. The company aims
for guests to enjoy their trip, share their experiences with friends
and family, and be inspired to return for leisure in the future.
