Conference and dinner venue

Westmanska Palatset – A Historic & Elegant Venue

Westmanska Palatset, a beautifully preserved 18th-century building in central Stockholm, offers a unique blend of history and elegance. Originally built as a private residence, it has since become a distinguished venue for gatherings, combining classic architecture with modern functionality.

With its grand halls, high ceilings, and intricate details, the palace provides an inspiring setting for our conference, fostering both focus and collaboration. The charming inner courtyard, filled with greenery, offers a refreshing space for informal conversations and networking.

In the evening, we return to Valvet, a historically rich dining hall within the palace, for a well-deserved dinner. Surrounded by the elegance of centuries past, this is the perfect place to unwind, connect, and continue discussions in a relaxed atmosphere.
