About us

Norway's most important student-run conference, built by students, for the business world.

Where leaders meet the next generation

The NHH Symposium is Europe's largest student-run business conference, organised annually at the Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen. What began in 1983 as a single-day student forum has grown into a two-day event that brings together business leaders, politicians, academics, and students from across Norway and beyond.

Over 400 participants, 30 speakers, and 150 companies represented. Each edition is built from scratch by a student board that volunteers a full academic year to make it happen.

The NHH Symposium aims to be a leading voice in Norwegian public debate, while also placing its theme in an international context. Together, several hundred participants from business, politics, culture, academia, and the student community gather to create “The Perfect Meeting Place”.
