Conference Dinner
Enjoy, eat, and meet at Kajskjul 8 for the conference dinner. Kajskjul 8 is located in central Gothenburg at the waterfront and old harbour district close to the floating ship museum. Kajskjul 8 was built on the quays along the railroad tracks around 1870. Originally used as a warehouse, the shed was then filled with all kinds of products, such as spices imported from the Orient as well as lumber from the forests of Värmland (region north of Gothenburg), which would then be transported down to southern Europe and other places. It is a building with a lot of interesting history, nowadays used for events and dinners.
Besides an excellent 3-course dinner, there will also be musical entertainments that will make it into an unforgettable finale of the Congress. Don’t miss the opportunity to sign up for this event when you register.
