1 List compiled by Chris Burn, with assistance from John Bennett, Tom Frisch, and David Terroux. 2 Titles in Tables 1 and 2 are for military rank, professional qualifications, and honourifics. Academic titles are omitted. The titles “Miss” or “Mrs.” are included for women, to distinguish them from men, who were the majority of speakers in the early years of the Arctic Circle; in recent years, full names are used, as customs changed. 3 Topics for the talks are given, as the full titles, in some instances, are not succinct. 4 Some annual dinners have been numbered meetings, but the practice has been erratic.
