It is time to look back at some of the highlights of the SACC Summit 2024! Day one kicked off with a vibrant social gathering on the rooftop of SACC Chicago, live music, dinner and drinks, and a welcome speech by SACC USA Chair Per Cedergren and SACC Chicago Program Director Beata Krakus. The energy was high as attendees enjoyed an evening of networking. Day two opened with welcome remarks by the Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, followed by two inspiring keynote speakers and five thought-provoking panels, each addressing key topics under the theme “Reaching for the Summit.” The day was capped off with dinner and drinks, and a wonderful evening cruise on Lake Michigan and along the Chicago River, hosted by our gold sponsor Wendella Tours & Cruises. On the third day, SACC executives, board members, and interns came together for an internal session, closing with the ceremonial handover of the SACC Summit torch to the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce San Diego, who is excited to host SACC Summit 2025. Finally, we extend a heartfelt thanks to all attendees, speakers, and sponsors who made this event possible. Together, we continue to strengthen the bond between Sweden and the U.S., driving forward exciting opportunities for collaboration and growth.

SACC Summit Chicago 2024 was an incredible blend of insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and engaging social activities. To kick off the Summit Wednesday night, we enjoyed a beautiful evening on SACC Chicago’s rooftop with live music and food from Swedish restaurant Tre Kronor Restaurant. After a full day of thought-provoking panels and keynote speakers the following day, attendees gathered at Labriola to enjoy traditional Chicago-style deep dish pizza while continuing to network and socialize. The evening concluded with a stunning architectural cruise on Lake Michigan and along the Chicago River, graciously hosted by our Gold Sponsor, Wendella Tours & Cruises. A perfect end to a memorable Summit!
