Stockholm, the north European city that is on 14 islands and where the sun is up 20h per day during summer months, has been the location chosen to host the 13th Regional Congress of AGN EUROPE.
It started on the 12th of June with a Welcome Cocktail that took place in a room with a view that looked across at the old town and everybody could appreciate the daylight in the evening hours. 93 delegates and companions representing 37 firms met old colleagues and friends and had the opportunity to meet representatives from some new member firms.
