SACC-Philadelphia Events
Perfect networking, for everyone
We often get the question if you have to be Swedish, have a Swedish connection or be a member to be able
to attend our events. The answer is very simple - our events are open to everyone.
As a member however, you will get a discounted price and/or complimentary tickets (depending on your
membership level). SACC-Philadelphia has held many successful events during the years, with a broad
spectrum of topics, venues and guests.
We strive to arrange about ten to twelve events every year and you are of course most welcome to them all
- and always feel free to bring your friends and colleagues!
Read more about some of our previous events on the following pages.
You will also find a selection of our events with images.

Third Thursday of Every Month:
Young Professional International Happy Hour
In the spring of 2015 SACC-Philadelphia hosted its first monthly International Happy Hour. Every first
Tuesday of the month young professionals have met at Fadó Irish Pub to network and enjoy the
company of fellow peers and entrepreneurs.
During fall 2017, SACC-Philadelphia decided to combine the monthly International Happy Hour with
the Norwegian Chamber. The happy hour is now held every third Thursday of the month at Oh!
Shea´s Pub, 1907 Sansom Street. The Happy Hour is a great event that strengthens the connection
among Swedes and Norwegians in the Philaldephia area.
