Welcome to Nordic meeting in Reykjavík
Every second year Nordic Adoption Council (NAC) holds Nordic meetings and Open Day Conference. The Conference is open to anyone that is interested in the Adoption field.
We have the honor to hold the NAC Nordic meeting and Open Day Conference again in Reykjavík, Iceland this year, 15. – 16. September 2023.
NAC Open Day Conference will be held on Friday the 15th of September with the theme: Adoption - a lifelong process
The focus in the Open Day conference is on how adoption is a lifelong process not just a one event and how important it is to look at this process from different angles.
Among speakers on the Open day will be Ólöf Ásta Farestveit, General Director National Agency for children and families, Rut Sigurðardóttir, Social Worker and family therapist, David Asplund, Cultural anthropologist from Sweden, Kristin Gärtner Askeland, a clinical psychologist and senior researcher at the Regional Centre for Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare, RKBU Vest in Norway, Anna Guwert, case officer at Roots and Journeys and Anna Taxell head of department, both from Adoptionscentrum Sweden. There will also be a panel with grown-up adoptees to get their different views about the adoption process and other speakers.
Conference will be held in Berjaya Reykjavík Natura Hotel, located in the downtown area of Reykjavík.
The General meeting for the NAC member organizations only will be held on Saturday 16th of September at Center Hotel Plaza.
Please register and pay the participation fee before 10th of September 2023
It is possible to book accommodation at all Center hotels in Reykjavík and get 15% discount. But as Iceland is a a very popular destination, the hotels can be fully booked, then we recommend looking at Airbnb or other hotels located in the down-town area. Accommodation Booking
