ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi, near Kiruna in Swedish Lapland, hosts company conferences for up to 65 people in its largest meeting room, with ready-made programs that combine meetings, dinners and Arctic activities. Conferences run all year. Incentive trips are offered from December to April.
Seminars and company events
Three conference rooms are listed on the official site. Torne takes up to 65 people, Kaitum up to 16 and Luspen up to 10. That covers a plenary session, a breakout group and a boardroom in the same building.
The hotel sells its conference offer as packages. Essence is a one-day format with an airport transfer, a welcome host, lunch, a conference room with an afternoon fika, a three-course dinner and a night on site. Midnight Sun, Northern Lights and Adrenaline last three days. They add airport transfers, a guided tour, an ICEBAR drink, a dinner with a wine package and a themed dinner (wilderness or Northern lights), and Adrenaline adds river rafting on the Torne River. A winter conference package adds a private snowmobile safari to see the Northern lights, a private dog sledding tour and an ice menu.
For incentive trips, a small three-day package and a larger four-day one are available from December to April. They include a private ice sculpting class (small package), a Northern lights snowmobile safari with dinner, a dog sledding tour with lunch and a Jukkasjärvi sauna ritual (large package), plus a private coordinator, outdoor clothing and luggage service. Groups range from 8 to 45 people.
River rafting can also be booked on its own for 12 to 16 people, in three formats: rafting with an open-fire lunch and sauna ritual, rafting with dinner at the ICEHOTEL restaurant, or a full day with rafting, sauna and dinner.
