NHH Forum is an annual academic conference, organized by NHH faculty and students in cooperation with one or more businesses.

Since its beginning in 2008 Statoil, Telenor, DNB, Orkla and PwC, and Ernst & Young have visited the forum. This year Schibsted will take the stage.

- Schibsted is an interesting company that operates in a sector which is in constant change. For over 150 years they have met and adapted to large changes. This, combined with the nature of the media industry, can bring up topics that are relevant for both students and faculty, says Anniken Fossum, student representative in the organizing committee.

The committee has already come up with some possible subjects, but is seeking input from students and faculty.

- We want to give everyone a chance to speak their mind and present their opinions. The goal is to create an event which appeals to as many as possible and that can cover a large spectrum of issues, continues Fossum.

Topic suggestions can be sent through Twitter (using the hashtag #nhhforum13), Facebook, or email to [email protected].

The organizing committee is led by Vice Rector Mette Bjørndal. The other members of the committee are Liv Mari Bakke, Kenneth Fjell, Anniken Fossum, and Kristin Risvand Mo.
