Named the best seminar during the Almedalen Week 2010, TEDxAlmedalen returns again this year. The event will take place on 7th of July and this year’s theme will be The Doers.

After a successful event last year TEDxAlmedalen will take place again in Visby, Sweden. The event is a joint effort by Greatness PR and Twingly and will occur as a private midnight session between 9pm to 12pm in an inner courtyard in Visby.

The Almedalen Week is a unique meeting point for politicians, debaters, organisations, lobbyists, journalists and entrepreneurs where speech and conversation is fundamental but who is it that really makes a difference? Debates and discussions are important but for TEDxAlmedalen the focus will be on those who transform words into action – The Doers.
