Elephant's Club

Friday October 11, 20:30 - 23:00

An important part of attending a conference like RESCUE 2024 is to share your experiences, get to know new people and talk to others with similar interests.

The Elephant's club on Friday night, at The Reykjavík Maritime Museum is an informal gathering of RESCUE 2024 attendees where they can grab a drink with colleagues and have a nice time in a relaxed atmosphere. 

The Reykjavík Maritime Museum is located by the old harbour in Reykjavík, in a building that was originally built as a fish freezing plant. The museum floor will be open to our guests from 20:30 - 21:30.

The permanent exhibition is “Fish and Folk - 150 Years of Fisheries.” It tells the story of Icelandic fisheries.  Visiting the museum is a great way to learn more about the nautical history of Iceland.
