(Some reasons to attend)
With 300 000 inhabitants from 170 different nationalities, Malmö is the most vibrant and multicultural city in Sweden.
The creative development in Malmö is boosted by co-operation between the university, science parks, cultural actors and companies. We can’t think of a better city to host a media conference in.
Oh, by the way, we are only a 30 minute train ride away from Copenhagen. And the airport sits in between.
