Strategic networking: Get Together & Mingle

The social program kicks off on Tuesday, May 26, with the highly popular Get Together & Mingle. From 17:00 to 19:00, Skellefteå Kraft Arena transforms into a vibrant hub where over 600 speakers, exhibitors, and delegates gather. A welcoming buffet influenced by local flavors will be served—providing the perfect finale to the first day for those looking to forge new connections in a relaxed environment.

A culinary journey in the timber masterpiece

Wednesday’s gala dinner, ”Mining & Dining,” takes place in Skellefteå’s architectural landmark: the Sara Cultural Centre and The Wood Hotel by Elite. Star chef Carina Brydling has curated a menu where sustainability and local craftsmanship take center stage.

"We let the ingredients speak for themselves. It should taste like the county of Västerbotten," says Carina Brydling. Utilizing Norrland’s unique pantry, she has created a menu where sustainability is a tangible flavor experience. Carina, a veteran of the Swedish National Culinary Team, brings a concept where high-quality local produce meets a well-oiled machine to provide guests with an unforgettable evening inside one of the world’s tallest timber buildings.

International show to raise the roof

The evening offers more than just gastronomy. Led by Fredrik Olofsson, choreographer and director of hits like The Masked Singer and Wallmans, a specially composed ”Late Night Dinner Show” will be presented. Together with musical artist Peter Malmrup and an ensemble of handpicked singers and a professional acrobat, the audience will be taken on a musical journey from the seventies to today’s hits.

"We are creating an experience where guests are part of the performance. Expect high energy, proximity, and a shared sense of joy that is guaranteed to raise the roof," explains Fredrik Olofsson.

 A platform for the future

By combining strategic networking during Tuesday’s mingle with Wednesday’s sparkling gala dinner, Euro Mine Expo solidifies its position as one of the mining industry’s most attractive meeting places.

"Relationships aren't just built in the booths; the evenings are equally important," says Sinnika Sjunnesson, Project Manager for Euro Mine Expo.
