NBFSweden 2019 Speakers Announced

Simon Sinek, Ryan Holiday, Isabella Löwengrip, and Sahar Hashemi will be speaking at the third Nordic Business Forum conference in Stockholm on 7 May 2019 at Cirkus.

We are thrilled to announce the speakers of our next Nordic Business Forum Sweden conference. The event will provide leadership and marketing lessons from some of the best that business has to offer: Simon Sinek, Ryan Holiday, Isabella Löwengrip, and Sahar Hashemi.

Simon Sinek, Ryan Holiday, and Isabella Löwengrip have all been to our events before and were highly rated by the audience. Simon Sinek presented at NBForum 2015 in Helsinki, Ryan Holiday held one-day intensive training course at our Bootcamp for Business Growth, and Isabella Löwengrip spoke at the Business Summit 2013 in Helsinki. Sahar Hashemi spoke at Presidents Summit this April, which is now part of the Nordic Business Forum family.

We are expecting to gather 1,200 C-level executives and business owners to the event, which makes it a hot spot for networking. As with all our events, networking at NBFSweden will be facilitated by the Brella networking app, which allows guests to book quick face-to-face meetings with other attendees.

Aslak de Silva, CEO of Nordic Business Forum: “We are truly excited to continue our expansion in Sweden and to bring Simon Sinek to Europe again. I had the opportunity to meet Ryan Holiday at the Nordic Business Forum Bootcamp for Business Growth back in 2016 when I was attending the training program as a customer. Ryan was incredible at explaining growth hacking and how to succeed in marketing. He explained, in detail, how everything is done successfully and gave a ton of easy-to-understand lessons in his session. Marketing is not someone else’s job, it is also your job.”
