Optional Extras
Relax, Read & Write Extension
April 28 and April 29, 2024 (Check out April 30)
The optional “Relax, Read & Write” two-day extension on April 28 and 29 gives you free time during Sunday and Monday to take additional tours, walk through town, shop for souvenirs, or write in a local café. The group will then gather in the evenings for dinner together. At the second dinner we’ll have an open mic night where you’ll have an opportunity (if you wish) to share some of your work with your fellow participants.
The Relax, Read and Write Extension cost is ISK 42,000 per person. It is also possible to book two additional nights’ accommodation at the same conference rate (limited availability).
Included in the Relax, Read and Write extension:
Two three-course dinners with transportation to/from the hotel (on 2024 Sun Apr 28 and Mon Apr 29)
Open mic night on the final night

Please note:

Non-Participating Partners
You can also sign up a non-participating partner. Non-participating partners can attend all the events (one day tour, receptions, welcome dinner, pub night, etc.), except the writing workshops or IRR and lunches on those two days. (Note that partners of IRR people can only attend one day tour, not two). If you are also booking accommodation, please remember to sign up to a double rather than a single room. The cost for a non-participating partner is ISK 103,000.
