The agenda for NHO26 is in development but this year's theme will be comprehensive reform in public administration — with a focus on how institutions can deploy procurement and operational improvements to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in services for citizens and businesses.

Institutions face demand for spending restraint while need for strong and reliable public services has never been greater. In 2024, the government’s annual spending on goods and services amounted to approximately ISK 530 billion, corresponding to around 11–12% of Iceland’s GDP. Therefore, there's a real opportunity in syncing public sector bargaining power to secure better terms and generate greater overall value in operations through innovative approaches.

NHO26 will address this situation, examine practical pathways institutions can take to meet these challenges, and discuss what changes in mindset and approach are needed to seize the opportunities ahead.

Limited seating available. Registry for the event begins March 9th. 2026.
