Types of Sessions at the 2020 Arctic Circle Assembly:

  1. Morning Sessions I are held in the early morning on Friday and Saturday. Perfect for breakfast discussions and shorter presentations. Light catering can be provided by Harpa Conference Center at the expense of the Session organizers.

  2. Morning Sessions II are held throughout the morning on Thursday and just before lunch on Friday and Saturday, following morning Plenary Sessions. This slot is well suited for shorter presentations, project overviews and sessions with up to four speakers.

  3. Afternoon Sessions are well suited for in-depth presentations, discussions, roundtables and workshops.

  4. Evening Sessions have more flexibility in duration, intended for gatherings with a more relaxed atmosphere, such as networking sessions, small receptions, game nights or film screenings. Please note that drinks and light refreshments can be provided by Harpa Conference Center at the expense of the Session organizers.

RECORD NUMBER OF SESSIONS: Last year, the number of Sessions held at the Arctic Circle Assembly reached a record high — over 180 Sessions. Watch the video below for a sense of the action.

Participation will be granted based on Session topic, area of focus, goals, and room availability at Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center. When proposals are submitted, 50% of speakers need to be confirmed.

Programs from previous Assemblies, which list all past Sessions, may be found at www.arcticcircle.org. The Arctic Circle provides an open, democratic forum for discussion and cooperation on Arctic Affairs.
