The seminar proudly presents a dedicated session for the intersection of snow and arts + sports, with Olympic gold medalist Sami Jauhojärvi as the keynote speaker.

The seminar will take place in the Nordic Art Hotel Lasaretti and is an in-person event. The seminar is free of charge, including seminar dinner and lunch, limiting the number of participants to 70 people – don’t freeze and register fast!
