Event Information for Visitors Coming from Latvia

We’re excited to welcome yet again a large delegation from Latvia to Nordic Business Forum 2026! Well over 300 business executives from Latvia have confirmed their attendance, making it the third-largest international delegation.

Laipni lūdzam!

On this page, we have gathered the most relevant information for our Latvian guests. You can already find accommodation information and a list of Latvian companies attending NBF 2026.

Traveling Between Riga and Helsinki

More than 300 Latvians have registered for Nordic Business Forum 2026 and spots on direct flights from Riga to Helsinki are limited. Booking early helps you secure your preferred schedule, and if demand is high enough, it could also lead to larger aircraft being assigned to the route.

If you’re flying from Riga, we strongly encourage you to book your travel as soon as possible to avoid disappointment! Direct flights from Riga to Helsinki are operated by Finnair and AirBaltic. 

Accommodation

We recommend booking your accommodation well in advance. The event venue is easily accessible by public transportation from all areas of Helsinki. 

Our Event Partner Scandic offers a 15% discount to NBF 2026 guests on the Full Flex prices, including breakfast, change, and cancellation free of charge (following each hotel’s policy). Group bookings of more than 10 rooms are priced on a case-by-case basis.

All Scandic hotels in Helsinki (except Hilton Kalastajatorppa) are Nordic Swan Ecolabelled, which is another great reason to stay in Scandic hotels!
