Location

The event is held in the office building Skeppet at Tullhusgatan 1A, located right by the waterfront in the Inre Hamn (Inner Harbor) area of Karlstad. Since the building is large and houses multiple offices, here is a quick guide to help you find your way:


On Foot or by Bicycle:

You are walking from Karlstad Central Station, the walk takes about 10–15 minutes. Simply follow the canal/river eastward down towards the Inner Harbor. The building is easily recognizable by its modern glass architecture right next to the harbor docks.


Public Transport:

Take the city bus to the Karlstad Orrholmsgatan or Inre Hamn bus stops (depending on the bus line). From there, it is just a short 2-minute walk to the main entrance. 

By Car & Parking:

Set your GPS navigation to Tullhusgatan 1A.

  • Parking: Paid visitor parking is available directly outside the building along Tullhusgatan, as well as in the nearby Orrholmsgaraget parking structure.


A tip for when you arrive:

Please enter through the main entrance at 1A (facing the inner courtyard area/street side). Once inside the lobby, you will find digital screens or event roll-up banners directing you to the correct floor or conference room.
