EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
g-events plans events in unique locations to make memorable meetings.
Planning a special event in Iceland can be challenging. A ven-
ue must be selected, entertainment booked, meals catered,
accommodation arranged and excursions executed. There are
so many options, details and logistics to get in order, and for
international companies, getting that done in a foreign coun-
try can be intimidating. g-events, a Reykjavík-based company,
specializes in planning receptions, conferences, team-building
exercises, festivals, weddings, gala dinners and incentive trips
for companies around the world. However, this isn’t just another
event management company. The team behind g-events takes
pride in thinking outside the box. While the company can plan
successful, traditional events, its specialty is in delivering some-
thing a little different.
INNOVATIVE EVENTS
Meetings can be planned in venues like hotels, conference rooms
or the Harpa Concert Hall, or clients can opt for something more
unique. Past events have been based in venues including old
farms and a power plant. The staff transforms structures to ac-
commodate special events with great care and an unrivaled eye
for design. The possibilities are endless and the team works hard
to take care of every last detail to make sure meeting partici-
pants can focus on the event. Past clients include local and in-
ternational companies like Hertz, Samskip, Actavis, Avis, Arion
Bank, and Marel, among many others. The staff aims to send
guests off with an unforgettable experience.
INCENTIVE TRAVEL
There is so much to do in Iceland that the challenge is creating
the ideal tailored incentive experience for guests. “I have an in-
centives group coming soon and we have such an exciting plan
for them,” said Gunnar Traustason, CEO of g-events. “We are
planning snowmobile rides and helicopter trips where guests can
observe the unique landscape in a thrilling manner.”
Other incentives can include northern lights hunts in the win-
ter, hiking treks in the summer, trips to hot springs, horse riding,
bathing in the Blue Lagoon and skiing treeless slopes. The com-
pany can also arrange concerts with local musicians with whom
the team has close, professional relationships.
g-events offers a great range of stylish and innovative options
to create a splendid setting for your next event. “We want all
clients and prospective clients to know that g-events will go the
extra mile to make their meeting, conference or incentive trip an
amazing experience,” says Gunnar.
