POLAR EXPEDITION SYMPOSIUM

Polar Expedition Symposium

2026 Dates TBA!

Our one-of-a-kind symposium will be hosted at the Jådåt Adventure winter training school of Allégården in Bygdeträsk, northern Sweden.

This is the only one-stop event that allows you to compare and contrast specialist equipment needed for a cold-weather expedition and talk to the experts who know them best.

The event is the perfect opportunity to speak to exhibitors about your needs, hear from experts on nutrition, planning, and training, as well as meet like-minded adventurers!

There will be plenty of equipment on display for you to try and we will have a photographer who will be in attendance meaning you can use the scenery to have photographs for expedition branding and PR.

There is no other event in the world where all of this takes place in one location.
