IE Nordic Weekend 2026 in Iceland

We are delighted to invite you to IE Nordic Weekend 2026, a special four-day gathering taking place in Reykjavík, Iceland from August 27–30, 2026.

This year, we come together under the theme: “Resilience through Sustainability”

This edition is particularly meaningful, as we celebrate the fifth Nordic Weekend in Iceland, the fifth country represented within the region. Iceland, known for its leadership in sustainability, innovation, and its unique natural environment, offers the perfect setting to explore how resilience and collaboration can shape the future across the Nordic region. This weekend is designed to inspire and for you to reconnect with your IE Community. 

We invite you to take part in an engaging and immersive program that will include a masterclass delivered by an IE professor, an alumni panel featuring leaders from different sectors, company visits, and a visit to the Icelandic Parliament with a keynote session on the country’s political, economic, and sustainability model. The experience will also feature curated cultural activities, allowing you to explore Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes, alongside group dinners designed to foster meaningful connections.
