Fiskepiren, Stavanger
Moderator: James Altucher
Norway Summit is the premier knowledge-sharing conference of Norway Chess, one of the world’s strongest chess tournaments. Since 2016, it has brought together leading thinkers, innovators, investors, and decision-makers to explore the intersection of technology, innovation, and economics.
Built around the theme of strategic decision-making, the program draws on chess as a metaphor for foresight and planning — with sessions on tech, leadership, healthcare, and global trends.
Join us in Stavanger on June 4 for a day of bold ideas, smart insights, and meaningful connections.
