Ways to participate


When you step out onto Bananpiren at the end of the summer, you will meet many other organizations, associations and companies. Welcome to Sweden’s new arena for open dialogue!

At Frihamnsdagarna, all social issues are welcome. The program is determined by you and your organization. The 2025 theme is Walk the Talk. The event has free admission to the public. Previous years thousands of people have visited Bananpiren every day of the event.

Stage time

  • Choose stage time 20 or 40 minutes.
  • Everything is rigged and ready when you arrive.
  • The stages are in tents, pavilions, Kajskjul 105 and an outdoor stage (without a roof).
  • Some stages are themed, with themes such as climate or urban development.
  • Stage time suits those who want to raise important social issues within which your organization is active. You can arrange a debate, panel discussion, seminar or workshop. If you book a stage time, your program slot is included in the program on the web, providing good opportunities to communicate with your stakeholders and target groups ahead of time.

Exhibition area

  • All exhibition spaces are under roof (in tents or inside pavilions).
  • The size is 3×3 meters. Sharing a space with others or buying several places if you want extra room is also allowed.
  • Exhibiton spaces are suitable for those who want to start a dialogue and talk with our thousands of visitors. The exhibition spaces are modestly furnished and you have great freedom to decorate as you wish.

Event area

  • Does your organization have its own exhibition concept that does not fit in our exhibitor tents? In that case, you can book your own event space.
  • Suitable for organizations that want to arrange activities on site for visitors.
  • Having your own event area creates many opportunities to create dialogue and interest among the thousands of visitors who come to Frihamnsdagarna.

Mingle

  • For organizers who book stage time or exhibitor space, there is also the possibility to arrange mingles.
  • This suits those who want to have conversations with people in their own network, for example members or customers.
  • Three mingle areas can be booked. We arrange food, drinks and sound system if desired. You invite your guests yourself and are responsible for hosting.

GBG Round table

  • Frihamnsdagarna organizes a series of round table discussions on current social issues. We call it GBG Round Table.
  • For organizers who have booked stage time or an exhibitor’s spot, there is also the possibility to arrange their own round table discussion.
  • Round-table discussions are a democratic form of discussion where everyone gets the same amount of speaking time. It provides good opportunities for deepening conversations. These talks take place in tents without an audience. You yourself invite participants, choose the topic and are responsible for hosting.
