We’d like to send out a big thank you to the hosts, SACC-FLORIDA (The Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce Florida), and to SACC-USA (Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce)for putting on such a fantastic event! It was amazing meeting and exchanging ideas with our fellow Swedish-American chambers, business partners and sponsors.
