    Lessons from the 2026 AGM Season

    The 2026 AGM season may be behind us - but the conversations shaping tomorrow’s boards are more active than ever.

    What topics dominated this year’s AGM and boardroom discussions?
    Which challenges are companies and boards increasingly expected to navigate?
    And what signals are Nomination Committees picking up about the competences and profiles needed for the future?

    Join SelectionF for an inspiring and interactive evening where experienced Nomination Committee members Patrik Jönsson from Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Charlotte Hansson from the Ministry of Finance and Anna Magnusson from the Fourth AP Fund reflect on the recently concluded AGM season and share their perspectives on what lies ahead.

    Together, we will discuss:

    • Key themes and “hot topics” emerging from the 2026 AGM season
    • The evolving expectations on boards and leadership teams
    • Competences and experiences increasingly sought after
    • How aspiring board candidates can strategically position themselves for future opportunities

    This is a unique opportunity to gain firsthand insights from those directly involved in shaping tomorrow’s boards — while engaging in open dialogue with peers and professionals across industries.

    Following the panel discussion, we invite all guests to stay for our Summer Mingle with networking, refreshments, and inspiring conversations in a relaxed summer atmosphere.

    Whether you are already active in board work, exploring your first board opportunity, or simply interested in the future of governance and leadership, we warmly welcome you to join us.

    We look forward to an evening of reflection, inspiration, and meaningful connections.

    Participation in the first two events is free of charge. By registering for a third event in SelectionF, you will automatically be enrolled as a member and invoiced for a 12-month membership period

    In an increasingly uncertain security environment, civil defence is no longer solely a matter for public authorities. Businesses play a crucial role in strengthening society’s resilience during crises, heightened alert, and ultimately war. From supply chains and infrastructure to leadership and continuity planning, corporate preparedness is becoming an essential part of Sweden’s total defence.

    Anna Starbrink will discuss the role of companies within Sweden’s civil defence, the evolving expectations on the private sector, and how boards and business leaders can contribute to a more resilient society in times of crisis and conflict.

    About the Swedish Civil Defence Agency and Anna Starbrink:

    Anna Starbrink is Director General of the Swedish Civil Defence Agency (MCF). The agency is responsible for strengthening Sweden’s civil defence and supporting society’s preparedness for crises, heightened alert, and war. Anna has extensive experience from leadership roles in both public administration and politics, with a longstanding focus on healthcare, security, and societal resilience.

    The event will be held in Swedish.

    Participation in the first two events is free of charge. By registering for a third event in SelectionF, you will automatically be enrolled as a member and invoiced for a 12-month membership period

    When it comes to diversity in the boardroom, the facts are clear - the more diverse a board is, the better the business performs. This workshop will illuminate why your unique way of thinking makes you a strong and ‘must-have’ boardroom member and equip you with fresh and powerful arguments you can bring to the traditional gender-based boardroom discussions.

    When the Takeover Call Comes, Will You Be Ready?

    Boardroom dynamics change fast when a takeover attempt is on the table. Governance and strategy collide — and every decision carries consequences for the company's future. What should you do if shareholders push for a deal you're not sure about? When confidential information starts leaking at the worst moment? How do you efficiently work with advisors and other stakeholders?

    The dilemmas that arise in a takeover process are rarely black or white, and they put the board's fiduciary duties to the test. 

    At our upcoming SelectionF event, Andreas Dalhäll from EY joins Sofie Bjärtun and Linnéa Dolk from Vinge for an honest, behind-closed-doors conversation about responsibility, risk, and what it really takes to navigate the line of fire. Don't miss it.

    Linnéa and Sofie are partners in Vinge’s Capital Markets and Public M&A team. They both regularly advise boards and offerors in connection with public takeovers. Sofie is also a member of the Swedish Securities Council (Aktiemarknadsnämnden) which issues rulings within the takeover field. Andreas is a partner at EY and has been working with capital markets transactions since he joined the firm, in 2007.

    Participation in the first two events is free of charge. By registering for a third event in SelectionF, you will automatically be enrolled as a member and invoiced for a 12-month membership period.
