MICE & Events
Finland for incentives, congresses and executive groups.
Aurora nights, archipelago summers and a design capital three hours from Central Europe. One Finnish team plans and runs the programme.
Who we work with
Whoever you are planning for, we plan with you.
Different clients need different things from us. This is what each can expect.
Corporate planners
In-house teams running several events a year.
One project manager from brief to departure, supplier terms you can audit, and reporting on spend and sustainability afterwards.
Incentive houses & agencies
Agencies placing programmes for their own clients.
A live programme page you can present as part of your pitch, destination material for your team, and one senior contact who answers the same day.
Associations & PCOs
Congress organisers with long lead times and formal bids.
Venue holds with written terms, delegate and capacity plans, and side- and partner-programme options in a form your committee can approve.
Travel designers & private clients
Families, couples and small private parties.
A personal itinerary page, a private villa with chef and driver, and a plan that leaves room for the weather and the northern lights.
See the villa programmeLarge groups
100 – 200+ guests across several properties.
Finland's best arctic properties are small. Instead of forcing a large group into one site, we use multi-property rotation: two or three bases and pods that swap, so no module is repeated.
Availability is verified with each property before we write the proposal. If the week cannot be held, we say so and propose one that can.

Programme ideas
Starting points we have built before.
Each tile is a programme shape we have run. Open one to see the modules behind it.
Before you write the brief
The facts you will need.
What we need from you
Group size, month, budget bracket per guest and the objective. Four lines are enough for a first shape; anything more is a bonus.
What comes back
A live programme page — usually within one working day for a shape, five to ten working days for a costed proposal with verified availability.
Lead times
Arctic winter weeks: 9–14 months for 100+ guests. Summer archipelago: 4–8 months. Executive visits: from 6 weeks when the calendar allows.
How capacity is verified
We hold options with each property before the proposal is written. If the week cannot be held, we say so and offer the week that can.
Reporting
Post-programme reporting on spend, supplier mix and sustainability measures against the Travelife framework, on request at briefing stage.
