Presentations

Little brand among and against giants

Yvonne Ryding believes in natural beauty and pure ingredients. She is, of course, the founder of Yvonne Ryding Sweden, and she will speak about being a little brand working with and against giants within her field.

Technology for technology’s sake never equalled increased sales

Erich Hugo and Per F T Nilsson from ITG Digital are energetic digital strategists. Digital revenue identification is one of their specialities and they have a strong digital business understanding and experience from e.g. Nokia and Bonnier. The point of departure for their presentation is: ‘If your preferred tool is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail’.

Airport retailing and mobile technology – there is no way around it!

Karl Walter from The Nuance Group expects a great future for media channels within airport retailing. It is not a question if mobile technology will be broadly and successfully used in traditional airport retailing – it is only a question when and how!

 

Music

The singer songwriter duo, Thyra, has just released its first album titled “All this time”. A very relaxed but living voice by the songbird, Karin Thyr, brings in a very personal expression into the acoustic retro sound. There is no doubt that Karin Thyr, together with Göran Ericsson, will be a pleasurable acquaintance during dinner at Restaurant Gubhyllan.

 

The program will make it possible for all participants to fly in and out from Arlanda on the day.
