Norway: Bodø
Bodø - Incentives and Leadership Retreats
Plan your MICE even in Norway’s undiscovered treasure in the north, Bodø! This extraordinary destination has been named the European Cultural Capital in 2024, and it’s ready to host you and your team for your upcoming MICE event.
Bodø is a hidden gem where natural beauty takes center stage, offering a plethora of activities that make for excellent incentives. Whether it’s hiking through the breathtaking landscapes of Bodømarka, swimming, fishing, or playing golf, the options are endless. As darkness falls, the sky dazzles with the luminating Northern Lights, a spectacle you only get to see once in a lifetime.
While Oslo might seem a world away from this northern Nordic gem, reaching Bodø is surprisingly quick and convenient. SAS, Scandinavian Airlines, and Norwegian all offer direct flights from Oslo to Bodo, with a flight time of just 1 hour and 30 minutes. For those who prefer a more scenic journey, the train ride to Bodø is a spectacular experience, showcasing some of Norway’s most beautiful landscapes.
Bodø is ideal for hosting small boutique meetings and events; the largest venue can only hold up to 600 attendees, adding a layer of intimacy you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll also find a variety of hotels to comfortably host your guests; our meeting planners on the ground can take care of this part of you.
Let Bodø be the place for your next MICE event; you may think pulling a conference somewhere like this is near impossible, but the DMC Collective can help you pull it off. We specialize in conferences and event planning in un-tapped locations; Bodø is one of them!
Why Bodø is the Best Choice for Your MICE Event
Easily Accessible from the Capital
If you were to look at Bodø on a map, you’d think that it’s difficult to reach, but it’s not; multiple direct flights depart from Oslo daily thanks to airlines like SAS, Scandinavian Airlines, and Norwegian. Oslo is connected to major transit points like Doha and Dubai, so you can do a quick changeover there before you reach Bodø.
For those looking to see a totally new side of Norway, why not embark on the scenic train ride from Oslo? While it takes around 18 hours, it’s an adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat as you speed through Norway’s stunning landscapes.
Countless Opportunities to Reward Your Team with Meaningful Incentives and Retreats
Reward your team for making the trip all the way to Bodø with some of our meaningful group travel incentives and retreats. Experience the world’s strongest tidal currents on a RIB ride to Salstraume or join a wildlife safari to witness majestic eagles in their natural habitat.
Aiming for something more active? Enjoy a few rounds of golf surrounded by lush Nordic nature, or venture out to tackle the waves of the Norwegian Sea for a day of fishing with some local fishermen.
Outline how you’d like to incentivize your team, and the DMC Collective event agency will make it happen.
A Small Municipality With a Wide Choice of Venues
Bodø’s secrecy level aligns with the size of the meeting venues here. The Scandic Havet, the largest venue in the city, can only hold up to 600 delegates, perfectly catering to boutique events like small conferences or exhibitions.
If you’re thinking about something on a smaller scale, the Clarion Collection Grand could be a good fit. It’s set in an unassuming building that looks like nothing special from the outside, but as you walk through the front doors, you’ll be met by an unmatched level of modernity and luxury.
Unsure what way to go? Tell our corporate incentive management company your plans, and our team in Bodø will find the right venue for your needs.
Wide-Ranging Accommodation on the Norwegian Sea
Bodø may not be as well known around the world as most destinations, but many Norwegians choose it as a spot for their domestic weekend trips, so there’s a great variety of accommodations here.
The Radisson Blu has been a hot choice among our clients in the past for its sense of luxury and spectacular views of Bodø’s harbour. It has 191 guestrooms and there’s a possibility to host your event here if you wish. Some other fantastic alternatives include the fanciful Quality Hotel Ramsalt and the quirky Thon Hotel Nordlys.
