GEM is a leading event organiser specialising in energy and maritime sectors. We are committed to creating global networking platforms for industry leaders
Formed in 2012 CA Smith Associates launched the first ever Arctic Exchange held in Stockholm. It was an idea developed by founder and managing director Chris Smith to meet a growing demand for a specialist event working alongside the Swedish Government, the Arctic Council and its chairmanship from the countries that share the Arctic Regions. The Arctic Exchange brings a revolutionary concept in ne
tworking and business information delivery – one that is designed to meet the Arctic's specific business objectives by promoting cooperation, coordination, and interaction among the Arctic communities. The Exchange is a unique round table event where delegates can choose to be seated at different tables throughout the day e.g. Governmental, Shipping, Seismic, Environmental, Ice Management, Technology. A host is appointed for each table whilst key speakers are also welcomed to the stage throughout the day. We are working on making the next Arctic Exchange the most unrivalled business to business Arctic specific networking opportunity of 2018. Attendees meet key industry professionals and leaders, high profile speakers and influential audience members to build strong relationships and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. The Arctic Exchange agenda covers a full spectrum of the sector offering an insight into market trends and developments, investment opportunities, and commercial strategies for success, whilst addressing the most important issues currently facing the polar region - including environmental, social and economic factors. As a company now into our 6th Exchange we are driven to deliver a flawlessly executed event, designed to inspire, motivate and build relationships. Through our collaboration with governments and industry leaders worldwide we have promoted a better symphony throughout the industry. Our Arctic Exchanges attract only the most senior level audiences, with an average of over 90% of our delegates being director level or key decision makers. This makes them a unique and valuable prospect for companies wishing to increase their profile and reach out directly to potential clients through highly targeted networking. We are proud to be ambassadors for the Arctic region with our focus being to support a more sustainable and prosperous arctic.
