- Last minutes. Nothing to add to previous protocol.
- Congress Reykjavik 2026 (Snorri and Steinunn)
Until today there are 271 paying and 343 in total (board+ sponsors + speakers + invited) participants for the main congress as well as 54 participants registered for the pre-courses.
There are enough sponsors in order to keep the financial situation of the congress satisfactory (2 gold, 4 silver and 13 bronze).
It will be possible to buy tickets exclusively for social activities (get-together and dinner). The cost for these tickets is being calculated by the congress bureau.
There will be a speaker’s dinner after get-together with the board at Harpa.
Lena will organize the activity where national board members present at NFS2026 congress will get a chance to meet.
We discussed and proposed suitable chairs for the sessions. This draft will circulate by mail together with the list of registered participants so the board can a agree on a final solution.
Most speakers have registered and confirmed their participation. For those who have not done so yet a reminder has been sent out. We also discussed to have some “just in case” lectures ready and
prepared if we get a last-minute cancellation.
Kersti Lundin has agreed to be chair at the general assembly. - Financial situation
