Stockholm in the City

Stockholm in the City is an exclusive event for the next generation of thought leaders.

The Stockholm Network believes there is a need for a forum where young like-minded people can discuss topical issues away from the day-to-day pressures of their professions and enjoy networking with other would-be leaders of tomorrow.

Each person invited is nominated by peers and selected by the Stockholm Network, to ensure lively discussion from people with a range of different backgrounds. Invitations are strictly non-transferable and there will be no admittance to uninvited guests on the door.

Topics of discussion range across politics, social issues and economic challenges. The cocktail and canapés event lasts just over an hour, with a maximum of one or two high-profile invited speakers.

Previous speakers at Stockholm in the City events include:

• Vince Cable MP, shadow chancellor of the exchequer for the Liberal Democrats;
• Boris Johnson, Mayor of London;
• John Willman, former chief leader writer and associate editor at the Financial Times;
• Stephen Pollard, prominent journalist and president of the Centre for the New Europe;
• Ed Vaizey MP, shadow minister for culture for the Conservative Party;
• Mark Harper MP, former shadow minister for defence for the Conservative Party;
• Rick Nye, director of Populus
