Conference material should be handed in two weeks before the conference day for review. Final version should be handed in a week before. If you are unable to hand in the slides due to confidentiality reasons, you can either bring the material on the conference day via a memory stick or if you prefer to present on your own computer.

At the end of the conference day attendees will join for a cocktail and networking in front of Silfurberg.

Speakers and selected partners are invited for dinner after the conference. The dinner is located at Harpa but specific room location will be provided at the conference day. Please let us know if you will NOT be attending the dinner.

Tours and activities

There are a few things that we recommend if you have time off aside the conference and workshops. Here we will list them out:

• Blue Lagoon
  A geothermal spa located between the airport and Reykjavík. We recommend to pre-book since it often sells out.
• Golden Circle
  The Goldern Circle consists of Gullfoss our biggest waterfall, Þingvellir, our national park, and Geysir. You can either drive it with a rental car or book a day tour with a few companies.
• Down town Reykjavík
  We recommend a walk through the downtown of Reykjavík.
• Traditional Icelandic Food
  There are a few places where you can enjoy traditional Icelandic cuisine. We reccommend Cafe Loki and Þrír frakkar for example.
• Thermal swimming pools
  Warm swimming pools are popular in Iceland and you can find quite a few in Reykjavík.
