Kicking back and networking events

Hosts Ports of Faxafloi went above and beyond in entertaining its guests during the conference. From the VIP tour to Thingvellir National Park and seat of the oldest democratic parliament in the world, Eyrarbakki and Grindavik, led by Gudni Th Johannessen, former president of Iceland, to the gala dinner and entertainment from Vigdis Haflioadottir and Egill Andrason at Gamla Bio, we were given a flavour of the country's food, culture, humour and music.

With the official opening of the Vor, Reykjavik Cruise Terminal, taking place on Friday May 29, we were give a sneak peak at the informal dinner on the Wednesday night. For some the boat trip over was accompanied by songs from none other than 'Muggi', Gudmundur Magnus Kristjansson, former port director of Isafjordur, a well-known member and stage presence on the CE circuit. Managing director of CE, Jens Skrede, also made an appearance with the song "One Frank in Iceland"!

Further music from DJ Hermigervill ensued which had the regulars up on the dance floor early on in the proceedings while many were enjoying the exceptional buffet and views.

Tolt at The Edition provided a welcome place to take a break between the day and the evening and a chance to establish and renew friendships after a day's work.
