All delegates are invited to attend the Welcome Reception, which is hosted by the City of Gothenburg.

The Gothenburg City Hall, also known as the Stock Exchange is a building in Gothenburg, at the north side of the Gustaf Adolf Square.
The building was designed by architect Pehr Johan Ekman and opened on December 1, 1849. Following the consolidation of stock trading to
the Stockholm Stock Exchange, the building housed the municipal offices of the City of Gothenburg, and the City Council has, since
January 5, 1863, conducted its meetings there.
During the reception, we will take a group photo with all the participants.

ISGT Gala Dinner Entertainment
During this festive evening we will be entertained by a Swedish music group, Majornas 3dje Rote. We will also enjoy a couple of Swedish Folklore Dancers,
accompanied by Göran Premberg, one of the Swedish National Folk Lore Violinists (Riksspelman). The music group, Majornas 3dje Rote, has a strong connection to the West coast of Sweden, particularly to Göteborg and the section of the city called Majorna. Their music has its strong roots in the traditional Swedish folk music. Combining influences from the whole world with a great portion of musicality and humor, they have created a unique and modern sound. During the last years they have at different occasions cooperated with the Swedish actor, singer and musician, Thomas von Brömssen.
