Regional meetings

Provides great opportunities for in-depth discussions in small groups and networking with other companies/organisations with similar challenges and conditions.

About our regional meetings

At our regional meetings, you have the opportunity for in-depth discussions in small groups with representatives from other companies/organisations with similar challenges and conditions. The regional meetings are exclusively physical at a member organisation or at a restaurant. At present, these are organised in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Jönköping. Approximately two meetings per semester. We are investigating the conditions for organising meetings in Jönköping as well.

The regional meetings will, as far as possible, be a continuation of the Fredagskunskap where very good opportunities for in-depth discussion and small group conversations with other members are offered. If you missed the Fredagkunskapen, you can watch it afterwards on our Youtube channel
