Background
The Nord Entertainment Conference was first held in February 2024, initially aimed at students in the international creative media studies program at the Faculty of Social Sciences. The conference was a great success, thanks in large part to the dedication of the student volunteers who helped organize and run the event. It also attracted attention from other faculties and sectors. As a result, the 2025 conference will be expanded to include all faculties at Campus Levanger.
Conference Location:
Nord University. Address: Høgskolevegen 27, 7600 Levanger, Norway
