Almedalsveckan
Six seminars. Raw data. Conversations that shape decisions. You can’t afford to miss what the numbers are telling us.
Almedalsveckan was our first year. We brought data, a sailing schooner, and seven seminars. We’re back for 2026 with six panels and the same commitment: unfiltered research, senior speakers, and conversations that actually drive change.
What does it take for organizations, cities, and governments to earn and maintain public trust? At Almedalsveckan year, Reputation and Trust Analytics will provide data-driven answers to the questions that matter most. The schooner Svanhild af Borgå will be docked at Österdahls Brygga in the port of Visby—and she’ll serve as our seminar venue, just as she did last year.

How can you find us at Almedalsveckan?
Finding us is easy. We’re docked at Österdahls Brygga —just follow the tallest masts in Visby Harbor to Holmen, pier 601. It’s a five-minute walk from Almedalen Park, and you can’t miss it.
The seminars are held aboard the Svanhild af Borgå. Please arrive a few minutes early—the deck is worth the wait.


Join us aboard the Svanhild af Borgå
Our seminar venue has a rich history. The Svanhild af Borgå was built in 1948 to transport timber through the Finnish archipelago. Today, as a fully restored three-masted schooner and one of Finland’s most distinctive traditional tall ships, she carries something different: data-driven conversations about trust, reputation, and the future of Nordic societies. You can find her at Österdahls Brygga.
