Reykjavík. The management of the Icelandic Convention & Incentive Bureau and Portus invited representatives of international associations in Iceland as well as Iceland’s 300 leading companies to the Harpa centre which is curreently being constructed. It is to open in 2011. “The guests we have invited to Harpa have influence and connections in the association and business worlds. We encourage them to help us raise awareness abroad of Iceland and of Harpa, a very attractive conference venue. We want to establish good lines of communication with our ambassadors, and to let them know what Reykjavík has to offer in the conference arena,” said Anna R. Valdimarsdóttir, the Bureau’s manager. “Harpa will be open in May 2011. It will offer the best possible facilities for conferences, and it will certainly put Iceland on the map as a location for events of this type,” said Pétur J.
