Who can become a host?

The role of host can look different, but often you are a:

• researcher or academic
• entrepreneur or industry representative
• member of an association, organization, or network

The most important thing is your commitment, your network, and your willingness to bring a meeting to Kiruna.

What do you need to consider as a host?

In the early stages, an overall picture is enough. Some important questions to consider are:

• Purpose: What do you want to achieve with the meeting?
• Target group: Who will participate and approximately how many?
• Time: When could the meeting take place?
• Requirements: Is there a need for specific premises, technology, or logistics?
