New Company Record: 8,000 Tickets Sold for Nordic Business Forum 2026
by: Nordic Business Forum
We’ve made history: 8,000 tickets sold for Nordic Business Forum 2026! That means we’ve surpassed our previous record of 7,750 tickets sold back in 2017. We’re expecting to be sold out within the next few months.
The enthusiasm around Nordic Business Forum 2026 has been extraordinary, and we’re truly grateful for our community’s trust.
The event will gather 8,500 business leaders to Messukeskus in Helsinki on 16-17 September, 2026. Over the two days, we’ll be diving into the powerful theme of The Human Edge. As AI and automation reshape the world, we’re focusing on the distinctly human qualities that give us a true competitive advantage: performance, decision-making, and collaboration.
Our speaker lineup already features a remarkable roster:
- Oprah Winfrey – Global Media Leader
- Steven Bartlett – Entrepreneur, Investor, Host of The Diary of a CEO
- Angela Duckworth – Author of Grit, Professor at UPenn
- Paul Polman – Former CEO of Unilever, Co-author of Net Positive
- Patty McCord – Former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix
- Nando Parrado – Survivor, Entrepreneur, and Business Leader
- Rahaf Harfoush – Digital Anthropologist, Bestselling Author
- Michael Beckley – Political Scientist, FPRI Director
- Kjell A. Nordström – Economist, Business Strategist
- …and a couple of speakers still to be announced!
“Reaching 8,000 tickets sold 8 months before the event takes place is a strong signal. It shows how deeply the human side of leadership resonates in a world dominated by technology and automation. We’re grateful and excited to welcome everyone to Helsinki next September,” says Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum.
Nordic Business Forum 2026 will focus on the power of us humans. With global thought leaders on stage and thousands of senior decision-makers in the audience, the event will be so much more than a leadership conference. We dare to promise it will be an insightful experience.
