The Rovaniemi Arctic Spirit conference will offer a forum for discussing the current status of and trends in Arctic cooperation with focus on sustainable development challenges and the people in the Arctic. The conference is the first major open event to be held during Finland's chairmanship of the Arctic Council. It is part of the official program when Finland celebrates its 100 years of independence.

The conference continues the series of biannual Arctic Rovaniemi conferences launched in 2013. The event builds on the tradition of the Rovaniemi Process, which marked the beginning of international cooperation between the Arctic countries. The conference is organized by the City of Rovaniemi and the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland.
