Travel & Logistics FAQ

Iceland is part of the Schengen Area (not the EU). Most attendees from the EU/EEA, UK, US, and Canada do not need a visa for short business visits, but rules vary by nationality — always verify with official sources before booking.

Late September in Reykjavík is early autumn — cool, breezy, and often wet. Layers and a windproof shell are non-negotiable.

You'll fly into Keflavík International Airport (KEF), ~50 km (31 miles) southwest of Reykjavík — a 45–50 minute drive on the Reykjanesbraut (Route 41), Iceland's only motorway-grade road. There is no train. Your realistic options are shuttle bus, private taxi/transfer, or rental car.

Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is modern and efficient, but security and passport control queues can be long — especially during the morning and early-afternoon bank of North American and European departures. Give yourself more time than you think you need.

Central Reykjavík is small, flat, and walkable — you can cross downtown in 20 minutes. For everything else there's the Strætó city bus, taxis, and e-scooters. No metro, no trams, no Uber.

Late September in Reykjavík is early autumn — cool, wet, and windy — but you'll spend most of your time indoors at a C-level executive gathering. Pack in layers you can peel on and off between a rain-lashed walk to the venue and a warm theater.

Iceland is one of the world's most card-friendly countries — you can genuinely leave the trip without touching cash. Tipping is not part of the culture.

Reykjavík is compact, walkable, and easy to explore on foot. A guided food tour is one of the best ways to get your bearings, taste Icelandic flavors, and meet fellow travelers before the Summit begins.

We want every confirmed attendee to participate fully. Reach out ahead of time and we'll coordinate directly with the venue and hotel.
