Election anxiety? Digital Almedalen - here is the list of the best seminars!

Peak digitization was certainly not passed during last year's Almedalen. This year, more than 500 out of 4000 seminars are about digitalization. Crazy it may seem. And perhaps a bit exhausting if you want to find the very best seminars, without scrolling through the Almedalen program. But you don't have to. We've done the work for you. Here are the best seminars!
