Theme: “Bridging Minds: A Collaborative Innovation Journey”
This year marks a very special milestone as we celebrate 10 years of IAPCO EDGE globally, a decade of learning, sharing, and growing together as a professional community.
For this anniversary edition, we have designed a programme that reflects the true spirit of EDGE: dynamic, interactive, and deeply personal. Moving beyond the idea of “one programme for all,” EDGE Stockholm will offer customisable parallel learning journeys, giving every participant the chance to choose pathways most relevant to their professional and personal growth. From innovation clinics and skills labs to mentor circles and co-labs, the focus is on practical tools, shared challenges, and meaningful takeaways that you can apply immediately.
But EDGE has always been about more than content. It is about connection. Our academy thrives on the power of building relationships with peers, faculty, and industry leaders, on the knowledge that we learn best when we learn together. Over three days in Stockholm, you will experience not only outstanding education but also the joy of conversations, collaborations, and friendships that will continue long after the seminar ends.
We can’t wait to see you!
