Embassy Speakers Program
Traveling to the United States is the best way to get to know the country. But there’s a way you can get the flavor of America right here in Reykjavik. The U.S. Embassy Speakers Program offers your group the opportunity to hear first-hand from Americans on many different topics. We want to get American diplomats out of the office and in front of the people who want to hear from them. We want to demystify the work we do here in Reykjavik and acquaint you with the Americans who live beside you in Iceland. Diplomacy is not only sharing policy … it’s sharing experience. Many of our staff have varied and extensive academic, cultural and professional backgrounds.
Whether you’re interested in life in America or U.S. foreign policy, the Embassy has someone who can speak on the issue. We’re looking for a range of audiences:
-
Secondary and university student groups
-
Community organizations
-
Conferences

Media
-
Local governments
-
Cultural events

Religious organizations
