Typically held at the historic '21' Club, our Speaker Luncheons have featured prominent speakers like Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, P.G. Gyllenhammar, Leif Johansson, Hans Stråberg, and many others. Enjoy an insightful, memorable lunch in this time-honored setting.
Executive Women's Conference
Since 1906, the Chamber has served as a platform for a unique network.
In this tradition, the first female President of the Chamber, Renée Lundholm, created a forum where outstanding women from both sides of the Atlantic could come together to compare notes and share knowledge.
The first Executive Women's Conference, held in New York in October 2003, was a huge success. Since then, it has continued to grow in significance and size, evolving into a leading forum for addressing the challenges that women will encounter as leaders in the 21st century. Today, it has become an annual event that alternates between New York and Stockholm.
The collective accomplishments of the speakers and participants are truly remarkable. Individually, these women are leading authorities in their fields of expertise, and their experience ensures that the discussions are both dynamic and constructive. We are committed to continuing this important dialogue on both sides of the Atlantic.
