Annual Meeting

Annual Meeting 2026

The AC Forum Annual Meeting 2026 will take place in Gothenburg,  22-24 January. With its strategic location in Scandinavia, the city has become an attractive meeting place for major events, international congresses, exhibitions, and trade shows. Few cities match the Gothenburg concept with Europe’s largest fully integrated city centered venue within walking distance of everything the city has to offer in the terms of hotels and restaurant, attractions, recreation, and entertainment. The AC Forum community will have a well-timed opportunity to be (re-)introduced to Gothenburg, Sweden’s heart of innovation and industry.

“Hosting large meetings in Gothenburg contributes significantly to the tourism economy, benefiting academia and businesses by attracting research, talent, investment, and prominence. AC Forum’s selection of Gothenburg for its meeting is a tremendous honor and holds immense significance for the entire destination. We eagerly anticipate showcasing the city’s offerings for forthcoming congresses, in partnership with Storhotellgruppen and The Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre Gothia Towers,” says Annika Hallman, Head of Gothenburg Convention Bureau.

“This is a very prestigious assignment that we hold in high esteem. In the international meeting industry, we are still something of a hidden gem when it comes to managing high-volume international congresses. With the largest and foremost associations gathered in Gothenburg, we have a fantastic opportunity to showcase our ability and capacity as a value-creating organiser delivering sustainable and safe world-class meetings,” says Malin Erlandsson, Director of Congress & Events at the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre Gothia Towers.

“The visit of these influential persons from the international meeting industry to Gothenburg holds great significance and fills us with pride. It represents an investment in the future, and we are committed to extending them the warmest welcome to our hotels and conference facilities,” says Charlie Hedberg, Chairman of the Association of large Hotels in Gothenburg.
