SUMMIT 2024

Together with SACC USA, we are honored to invite you to the 2024 SACC Summit Chicago, SACC’s annual flagship event gathering top executives of major Swedish and American corporations, government officials, academia, and other thought leaders. This year, we are proud to host the event in Chicago, starting in the evening on September 18, with all-day programs on September 19.

September 18-19, 2024

Chicago

Attracting SACC members from across the U.S., the SACC Summit offers a platform for reaching the national Swedish-American business community in a relaxed and professional setting. The program will include keynote speakers, panels, fireside chats and round table discussions with Swedish and American officials and executives.

The theme this year is ''Reaching for the Summit''. We will bring together unique perspectives to explore how companies and individuals can reach their ultimate goals – be they financial, sustainability, or quality-focused.
The SACC Summit will present ample networking opportunities. In addition to the day-time program, we are also planning an evening social program. You will get a chance to experience the magnificent architecture of Chicago on an evening Wendella boat cruise on the Chicago River with other SACC Summit attendees and SACC-Chicago members.

We hope that you will not only attend, but also consider sponsoring the SACC Summit. Sponsoring will give you an excellent opportunity to really stand out to this exclusive target group, and allow you to share your message. It is a very efficient way to reach the entire top of the Swedish American community in one location, at one time.
