What is the Speaker Contest?
We at Nordic Business Forum host an annual Speaker Contest in which we hope to discover ingenious talent, innovative concepts, and intriguing perspectives from professionals and first-timers alike.
The themes of the 2019 contest were leadership, innovation, and marketing.
The final round took place on Thursday 23 May 2019, from 17:30 to 20:30 at Congress T2 at Helsinki Airport.
The audience was by invitation only, but anyone could participate online with a live stream pass.
The winner of the final round won a spot in the speaker lineup for Nordic Business Forum 2019 and earn €30,000 for the speaking engagement.
“It was an incredible honor to win among
a fantastic group of competitors, and
a great privilege to have the
opportunity to speak at such a
high-impact event.”
– James Hewitt, winner of the 2018 Speaker Contest
