Herrankukkaro

A'Pelago invites you to the creative winter landscape of the Archipelago to take initiative

Winter Camp is an Archipelago Business Forum combining a branding think thank with action. It is a meeting place for engagement, dialogue, exchange of ideas and unexpected connections that contribute to the development of the archipelago. Winter Camp brings together branding and marketing professionals, business leaders, researchers, investors and other influencers as well as local entrepreneurs.

In line with the Initiative Year 2024 Theme, Narrative, the Winter Camp will take a deep dive to the shared question of professionals, how can we accelerate solutions beneficial to the Archipelago Sea Region by activating branding and storytelling.

In Winter Camp, we will discuss

  • What should one know when it comes to brand building in the Archipelago Sea Region context in 2024?
  • How can we create lasting brands that benefit the Archipelago Sea Region?
  • How do we tell brand stories that connect emotionally with the audience to inspire desired actions?

The event will take place in the extraordinary Herrankukkaro, which itself is a place full of stories. The Winter Camp will present over 10 hours of insightful content, 20 sessions and gather together over 100 persons ready to take action to benefit the Archipelago Sea Region with the power of narration and branding.
