Welcome to Accru Ascend
September 29th – October 1st
We are looking forward to welcoming all colleagues to an unforgettable autumn kickoff in Åre, Accru Ascend, where we will spend two days focusing on networking, inspiration, and value-creating activities.
On the arrival day, we will start with a cozy outdoor evening that includes team-building activities and dinner. This will be a great opportunity to build new connections and get to know each other.
On Tuesday, the joint conference program begins in the morning and runs until lunchtime. In the afternoon, you will take part in your chosen activity, enjoy our autumn “after-ski” and end the day with a special dinner and the Accru Awards.
On Wednesday morning, you will join one of several exciting breakout sessions, chosen in advance based on your interests. We will round off the event just before lunchtime and then head home.
