Top 5 restaurants to host a conference dinner in Stockholm
After a year of canceled conferences because of Covid-19, just about everyone is ready to meet in person again and actually looking forward to the conference dinner for a chance to catch up with colleagues and friends. A conference dinner can often be seen as the heart of an event because; there’s food involved! When planning the dinner, it's important to think about, not only the venue, but what quality food to serve. What ambiance can you create in the dining hall to make it go together seamlessly with the theme of the conference, as well as if there’s room for some entertainment? The award prize ceremony or speeches from a keynote speaker and the President of the congress are usually important parts of the evening program.
