Conference Banquet (27th June)

The Conference Banquet for RE ’24 will take place on Thursday evening, 27th June 2024, at Harpa, Norðurljós. The Harpa concert hall is one of Reykjavik’s most striking landmarks and a centre of cultural and social life in the very heart of the city. Harpa is a tourist destination and an award-winning work of art that has been visited by millions of people since opening in 2011.

Harpa is home to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Icelandic Opera and Reykjavik Big Band, which hold regular concerts throughout the year. Múlinn Jazz club also resides in Harpa as well as the Classical Sundays Series, both offering concerts on a regular basis.

The banquet will be held in the Norðurljós room of Harpa. Norðurljós, (which is the Icelandic name of the Northern Lights) is equipped with custom designed lighting equipment that can be configured in a number of coloured themes, creating the most suitable atmosphere for the event taking place. All around the perimeters of the hall there are balconies. Harpa is 45 minutes by foot from Reykjavik University. By bus, you can take Bus 8 to Gamla Hringbraut and, from there, take Bus 1 (direction Hlemmur) until Lækjartorg.
