NOVEMBER 20th & 21st

On Nov 30th & Dec 1st, we invite chosen leaders, entrepreneurs, and passionate change-makers from the most influential organizations to Epicenter Stockholm.

Together we will share learnings and take a joint look at the future in a dynamic, cross-functional format with peers, other industries, handpicked thought leaders, artists and surprises.

This years Sime Winter Edition is dedicated to bridging the divides.

We live in an increasingly polarized world where political views, regions, age, socio economic status, race and beliefs puts humans on different sides of growing walls.

In business traditional rules are at odds with exponential innovation, communications difficulties between marketing and IT, local and global, top management and grass root and short term versus long term.

We believe that a new more conscious leadership is needed to guide us through the new normal and create the societies we and a tormented planet need.

Are you such a leader?
