Nordic Business Forum 2025 Is SOLD OUT

It’s official: Nordic Business Forum 2025 is now completely sold out!

All 7,500 seats have been filled for this year’s event, taking place on September 24–25 at Messukeskus, Helsinki. Thousands of business leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers from over 50 countries will soon gather for what we call the best business days of the year.

We’re once again reminded of the incredible support and trust our community places in us—thank you already for making this happen!

This year’s theme, Moving Forward, feels especially relevant in today’s world of growing uncertainty and challenges. It’s time to shift gears. It’s time for progress. It’s time to move forward.

Over two action-packed days, we’ll focus especially on foresight, growth, and culture, to help participants lead themselves and their company successfully into the future.

Our 12-speaker lineup includes an excellent mix of thinkers, doers, and change-makers:

  • Rick Rubin – Iconic Music Producer & Co-founder of Def Jam Recordings
  • Angela Ahrendts – Former Apple Retail SVP & Ex-CEO of Burberry
  • Simon Sinek – Bestselling Author & Leadership Thought Leader
  • Sukhinder Singh Cassidy – CEO of Xero, Board Leader, and Entrepreneur
  • Jonah Berger – Marketing Professor & Author of Contagious
  • April Rinne – Future of Work & New Economy Expert
  • Gianpiero Petriglieri – INSEAD Professor of Organizational Behavior
  • Milda Mitkuté – Co-Founder of Vinted
  • Risto Siilasmaa – F-Secure Founder & Former Nokia Chairman
  • Howard Yu – Innovation Professor at IMD Business School
  • Diana Kander – Entrepreneur & Author
  • Peter Hinssen – Technology Strategist & Serial Entrepreneur

“Selling out the event is both humbling and extremely energizing. It shows there’s a real hunger for coming together in person, to connect, to learn, to be inspired. It’s clear that the content and format we’ve built resonates with leaders who want to grow. And as our theme suggests, it’s time for growth, it’s time to Move Forward. This year, we’re also welcoming our largest international audience ever. We can’t wait to welcome everyone—on site and online”, shares Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum.
