What makes Iceland the perfect incentive travel destination?

2025 EVENT DESTINATIONS

Why Iceland Is Trending for Business Events in 2025?

Iceland is having a moment-and not just with adventure travelers. In 2025, it’s emerging as one of the top incentive travel destinations for companies looking to inspire, reward, and reconnect with their teams in a truly unforgettable setting.

Why? Because few places combine awe-inspiring nature, eco-conscious infrastructure, and experiential luxury quite like Iceland. In addition, it offers a rare mix of adventure and comfort that appeals to diverse teams and corporate cultures.

At MIT Creators, we’re helping brands turn their goals into glacier-topped adventures combining creativity, sustainability, and seamless execution every step of the way. Ultimately, our goal is to create memorable events that resonate long after the return flight home.

Built-in Sustainability

Iceland generates nearly 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, mainly geothermal and hydropower. As a result, hosting your event here immediately reduces your environmental footprint.

Natural Drama = Instant Wow

Volcanoes. Glaciers. Northern lights. Black sand beaches. The raw power of nature here does more than impress – it emotionally grounds people and creates space for reflection, innovation, and team bonding.

It’s Remote, Yet Accessible

With direct flights from major hubs like London, Paris, NYC, and Barcelona, Iceland feels like an expedition without the travel fatigue. Meanwhile, the tourism board actively supports sustainable business travel and incentives programs, making logistics smoother for planners.

What type of corporate event works best in Iceland?

We’ve seen Iceland elevate a wide variety of events formats. Here are some proven examples:

  • Leadership retreats → For future-focused conversations and deep team alignment
  • Sales incentive trips → Rewarding top performers with once-in-a-lifetime experiences
  • Innovation or strategy offsites → Nature-fueled creativity, unplugged from the day-to-day
  • Client loyalty programs → Small groups, high impact, unforgettable memories

In short, Iceland adapts beautifully to high level events that require inspiration and intention.

Creative Ideas for your business event in Iceland

Here are a few MIT-style event activations that make the most of Iceland’s epic terrain. Each idea is designed to connect teams, drive engagement and leave lasting impressions.

01

Northern Lights Dinner

Host a fireside dinner in a glass lodge under the aurora borealis. To elevate the moment, add a private chef and live music for ultimate magic.

02

Glacier Hike & Reflection Session

Start the day with crampons and ice axes, end it with a circle discussion on vision and growth.

03

Geothermal Spa Welcome Reception

Instead of the usual welcome drink, begin with a dip in the Blue Lagoon or a private hot spring.

04

ATV or Super Jeep Adventure

Break up meetings with adrenaline. Plus, branded gear, drone footage and epic stories.

05

Local Impact Add-On

Plant trees, support local reforestation efforts, or collaborate with an Icelandic non-profit. In turn, your event leaves a positive footprint.

🗓️ Best Time of Year to Plan Your Iceland Event

We recommend:

  • May–September → Long daylight hours, ideal for glacier hiking, ATV adventures, and rooftop meetups
  • October–March → For those chasing the aurora, cozy indoor venues, and true Nordic winter vibes

❄️ Note: Winter can be logistically challenging (weather!) but extremely rewarding if planned correctly (which is where we come in 😉).

  • Reykjavík → Easy access, creative energy, top-notch event infrastructure
  • The Golden Circle → Waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, and nature lodges within 2 hours of the city
  • Southern Iceland → For dramatic landscapes, black sand beaches, and adventure-based experiences
  • Northern Iceland → Quieter, less touristy—ideal for deep immersion and exclusivity

In conclusion, Iceland isn’t just a destination—it’s a powerful canvas for meaningful, memorable corporate events. Whether you’re rewarding top performers or aligning your leadership team, a road show in Iceland or incentive trip here is sure to spark inspiration and drive real results.

Let’s make your next incentive event unforgettable—with Iceland as the stage.
