Local ambassadors and hosts

Are you part of a board of directors, association, industry organisation or perhaps a scientific society, meeting regularly in Sweden or abroad? Are you thinking about raising your hand to suggest Luleå as the place for your next meeting, but not sure where to begin? Relax, we're here to help.

There are many reasons to host a meeting or convention. Here are some of them.

Highlight what you are doing

Meetings and conventions will put your specific area of interest in the spotlight. This can lead to future grants and new research opportunities, or a stronger network that will boost the development of your organisation.

Recruit new talent

By putting what you do on the international map, in clear view of professionals, you will have greater opportunity to recruit new talent, both in business and academia.

Let your meeting build Luleå

By opening the doors for more meetings and conventions in Luleå, you will help build the place, and bring economic benefits to the tourism industry. Luleå's goal is to grow to 100,000 residents – meetings and conventions contribute to increased visibility and better conditions for the city.

Driving long-term change

Meetings and conventions have enormous potential for driving change, improvement and development. Even if your particular meeting does not lead to a new Kyoto protocol or international peace accords, it is important to think about the processes you want your meeting to initiate. The journey will not end with the closing speeches, the effects of a meeting can often be seen many years after it took place. Small, strategic steps at an early stage can yield great results in the long run.
