MAXIMIZE YOUR COMPANY’S EXPOSURE WITH AN EXHIBITION STAND

NORDIC PEARL offers a great exhibition area, so don’t miss booking an exhibition stand and/or sponsorship early to ensure a favourable place. The exhibition area is on the same floor as the auditorium, and all coffee breaks and happy hours take place there, so there is a very high exposure for all exhibitors.  

As a bonus, all exhibitors, sponsors and speakers will also be exclusively invited to a reception held at the conference hotel Tivoli Hotel on the 1st of April, the day before the conference starts.
