We shed northern light on the most vexing problems of the business community

The Northern Light Summits

The Northern Light Summits are intellectually stimulating, informal gatherings for leaders of Europe’s most important businesses and globally renowned experts. The discussions are daring and off the record, unless otherwise indicated.

Our perspective is distinctly Nordic, i.e. pragmatic, solution-oriented, and forward-looking.

Northern Light Summits are organised by the European Business Leaders’ Convention. Participation in all Northern Light events is by invitation only and restricted to the highest-level business leaders and experts.

“Absolutely amazing event and atmosphere.”

“The agenda and speakers did not shy controversial topics. “There is a good vibe all along.”

“Professional organisation, relevant topics, great panellists, excellent cultural component.”
