Stortingsgata Kurs & Konferanse
Arctic Expedition Cruise Week
Registration is open!
The Arctic Expedition Cruise Week is your chance to be part of an exciting gathering that brings together Arctic expediton operators and industry stakeholders for networking, learning, and collaboration. The venue this year is Stortingsgata Kurs & Konferanse.
While the full program is still being finalized, here’s a sneak peek at the key events:
- October 21 – Meet the Destinations & Market Place: Connect with local Arctic producers and destination representatives, and learn about their experiences, products, and future visions. This year’s event includes breakout sessions—the DMO session offers a chance to exchange ideas, and strengthen connections with fellow DMOs across the Arctic. In the Market Place session operators will explain how procurement works, and how to tailor products and services to meet their needs.
- October 22 – Arctic Cruise Conference: Our annual conference will as always include knowledge and discussions of industry trends, developments and opportunities in Arctic tourism. This year’s key note speaker is Sam Seward, newly appointed President of Quark Expeditions.
- October 22 – Annual Dinner: Enjoy an evening of food, laughter, and speeches — and the announcement of the Puffin Award winner at Håndverkeren, a historical venue in the heart of Oslo, where you will enjoy a delicious three-course dinner.
- October 23 – Annual General Meeting: AECO’s member meeting, reviewing the past year, discussing and voting on future strategies and issues.
