The Programme of 2026
-
Expect thought-provoking keynotes that not only inspire but also open up real-world challenges and dilemmas for discussion.
-
We believe in learning together — through interaction, reflection, and co-creation. Our workshops are consistently rated among the most valuable parts of PLACExNordic, offering hands-on exploration of the topics that truly matter for cities, regions, and destinations today.
-
Between sessions, there will be plenty of time to connect and network with colleagues from across the Nordics, Europe, and beyond — to share experiences, spark new ideas, and strengthen the community shaping the places of tomorrow.
“Resilient Future Places
– From Adapting to Advancing,
Shaping the Places of Tomorrow.”
