The A house building

Since A house covers a whole block, you might need some guidance. 

For all day-time events, we use the main entrance on Östermalmsgatan 26A. From this entrance, you'll get directly to our lobby, in which you'll find all the info you need regarding locations and program. You can also find specific location info under the different events in the menu above.

The A stage after-party has its own entrance on Uggelviksgatan 2A (close to Mr Cake) and to reach that, you have to go outside and go around the building.

Wanna go to A house by local transport? Tekniska Högskolan is the closest stop!

LEVELS: Digital Transformation – from buzzword to action and reflection

We would like to invite you to participate in an interactive presentation and discussion on one of the most important changes that is currently taking place at high speed and around the clock. When you are in the midst of strong change it could sometimes be hard to tell details in our everyday life from meta-trends and overall shifts in technology and behavior.

So, join us to hear how we think around these issues, how we turn them into strategy, tactics and collaborative opportunities. We would also like to put things in perspective and sometimes when you look at our history, there are lots of things that have been thought and said in changing times and around new technology that is laughable in hindsight. So, most welcome to Levels for an inspiring session on “the meaning of digital transformation” together with Per Spångberg and Linus Granborg.

DIGITALIST: Become a better purchaser of Digital services

Almost all companies own some kind of Digital service today. It can be as simple as a website or app, or a big complex system. No matter what, most people experience a lot of challenges with these services, it is often expensive and difficult to run these projects.

Rarely do you get the results you want and often it has become more expensive than you thought. What goes wrong and can we act differently to achieve other results?

Of course, we know that and the fact is that how we order and relate to our services is the single most important factor for success. You can't afford to miss this!

Tomas is a digital strategist and business developer at Digitalist. Tomas has 24 years of experience working with Digital services in roles such as developer, analyst, strategist and business developer. For almost 5 years, Tomas has lectured on becoming a better client and this lecture is usually appreciated. This spring, for example, Stockholm City changed one of its procurement processes based on Tomas materials and lecture.
