Conference

Part of the Swedish Council's mission is to bring together people from Sweden and North America in educational programs.

To date, the Swedish Council has presented ten conferences across the United States and Sweden to educate interested persons and engage new generations to learn about Sweden and Swedish America. Prior locations include Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley (2009), Karlstad, Sweden (2006), St. Paul, Minn. (2004), and San Francisco (2000).

The next conference will be held September 12-15, 2012 in Karlstad, Sweden. In addition to Swedish Council of America, the planning committee includes representatives from Karlstad University,  Värmlands Chamber of Commerce, and Sverige Amerika Centret.

Details of the program will be announced in future issues of Sweden & America magazine, in SCA's monthly electronic newsletter, eUPDATE, and on this webpage.

Swedish Council extends its thanks to the Kimberly and Erika Pearson Foundation for its initial financial support for this conference.
