An Almedarling's list

Absolutely. Did not see myself in the middle of a EPA-dunk debate while sipping an Aperol spritz. Vitality? Existed.

Tried desparately to launch this to Henrik Torehammar, podcaster and political journalist. Just as we have "möps", mililitary over interested people, I think we also need the word politicially over interested people. He did not bite.

Had a fun 30 mins with them in the Google tent the day after the Tech arena party and was grilled through and through. Loved it!

Found myself randomly chatting with her while asking for a coffee in their rolling coffee stand. Love when persons with that kind of influence take to the streets to meet the people they work for.

Twice this week I found myself really impressed by the presence by a general director. Lena Ag was a guest in the podcast Fannys Förebilder and I recommend that episode to anyone. She's so cool, and in the future her book will be one I page turn QUICK.

I mean. To listen to Ida Östensson, Ulrika Grandin, Emma Knaggård Wendt, Camilla Wagner, Sofia Lindelöw, Linda Ljunggren Syding and Charlotte Ljung talk about economics, feminism, equality, parenthood.... GASH I had goosebumps through and through.

Almedalen is for everyone, but not accessible for everyone. It's not cheap. It's not easy to find your way there and know how to approach the week. Hence I love when people that does not hold the title CEO, Head of, President or Founder shows up. Because the debates and discussion held in Almedalen needs to be for a larger group of people. Hence so amazed by Erica Theorén, Sofia Lindståhl, Triantafyllia Karypidou and Christina Crafoord that showed up to put Scania on the map for real! Go you!

In 28+ degree heat. Day in, day out. Go you <3

The collaboration between Tim Bergling Foundation, Sveriges Elevkårer, Sveriges Elevråd, that became the live podcast with Ångestpodden was definitely the most lavishly. I've never seen so much snacks in one place. It was also the most crowded session I've seen (a part from when Kristersson attended the Tech Arena). Kudos to everyone involved!!

SO WELL DESERVED!!!! They won the Techarena Challenge as Startup of the year and I can't imagine a more worthy winner. The pitch was 🔥

EVERYBODY had a mingle or a separate dinner? Not even companies I saw having some type of "content" in the Almedalen-guide suddenly popped up in the feed afterwards having "one of the best mingles ever" or an exclusive dinner. Hmmmmmmmmmm not really for that trend. Private dinners you can have in Sthlm instead.

Yeah, the Fler Unga* person in me is clenching her fist in her pocket.

* An organisation that goes to Almedalen each year, together with a bunch of young people far from politics, with the aim that "where young people are discussed, they should also be represented"

28+ degrees and sun. May I say more? We swet together, we make change together 🤷‍♀️

According to the data collection by Intellecta.

Daily mingles? GENIOUS!! If you didn't know where to go, there was always Prime. Bonus for the fantastic location in the ruin.

I'm impressed by Linda. She was everywhere - almost thought she could handle moderating two stages at once at Techarenan. Clara moderated a really good techy panel on the topic of driving the green shift, LOVED it.

Stordalen went out on stage at his mingle, filled to the brim with leaders, and initially talked about the warzones currently forcing people to flee from their homes. I at least had goosebumps, but people around me seemed too busy mingling. Zzzzz.

.... And HOW they did it!!! Bunch of interesting seminars, Canada's ambassador, and a top notch mingle. We want you back next year!

Was such a pleasure to befriend Annie Carlsson & Sara Simonsson from Girls in STEM. So many thoughtful insights, both on Almedalen per se but also the STEM-field.

And it makes me so happy to see Fler Unga once more in Almedalen. They mingled HARD.

He's here, he's there, he's everywhere! To be an Almedalen rookie and get into so many different settings & with so many different people? INSPIRING.

TCO always delivers the best waffles and this year was no exception. A life hack was to take them to go. I've learnt something new this year too!

It became almost a rigid political debate at the panel about "Security, tech & finance - this is how we protect todays digital consumers" between the two of them. The panel was Friday morning, after the Tech Mingle. All you that slept in - you missed something!!

Last year we all had FOMO. This year we could all go safe and sound to both of them (Stordalen had Wednesday, Tech Mingle was Thursday). Piuuuuuuuh!

I almost had a heart attack, seeing Expressen having moved their stage from the usual place at Hamngatan to the new one at Donnersgatan. Seemed however like a much better location in terms of visibility & crowdedness.

Having daily leadership seminars, just outside their boat in the middle of the street? Genious.
