Comments from participants

IndustryForum gathered the directors from the biggest municipalities together. During the two days there were fruitful discussions about cooperation between municipalities, developing e-services, productivity issues and city management. The next IndustryForum is already looked forward to!

IndustryForum Municipality is very inspiring. The great arrangement and the atmosphere stimulate networking. I think it is great that it focuses both on technical and management issues at the same event.
Bo Swärd, Head of Administration, City of Eskilstuna, Sweden

The IndustryForum hits the spot. The event was exceptionally good and organized professionally to the smallest detail. We had two very rewarding days and we are definitely interested in attending next year as well!
