Sydsvenskan, DN and Expressen Sponsor SSWC

At Sweden Social Web Camp, the country's web entrepreneurs gather to talk about the future of the Internet.

For the second year in a row, Sweden's web entrepreneurs and others interested in social media gathered together on Tjärö island on the west coast of Sweden at SSWC, Sweden Social Web Camp. Some 400 people gathered together over the weekend of Aug. 13-15 to camp, swim and take saunas - and talk about the future of the Internet. Workshops and presentations are held based on interest, and run by the participants themselves.

One weekend in late August, 200 of the most active players on Sweden's Internet scene gathered on an island off the southeast coast of Sweden to discuss social media on the Web. The event, Sweden Social Web Camp, was sponsored in part by Bonnier R&D.
