We are excited to invite our AmCham Sweden Young Professionals Network, for young professionals within the ages of 25-35, to an insightful post-U.S. Election event, co-hosted with SACC-USA Alumni on November 12th.

This program will feature a discussion on the aftermath of the U.S. election with Frida Wallnor, an editorial writer at Dagens Industri, and Roland Poirier Martinsson, an author and conservative philosopher specializing in Sweden and U.S. politics. The session will be moderated by Jonas Hellman, Senior Advisor at Geelmuyden Kiese, followed by a Q&A to encourage audience interaction and deeper conversation. It will be an enriching opportunity to learn more about the aftermath of the election from both sides of the aisle, and share ideas and experiences with likeminded professionals across AmCham's member companies.
