SIME: It’s your party!

I accidentally stumbled upon this video of Ace of Base performing for the first time in 12 years at SIME 08 Awards and Gala with Mia Rose, and it struck me again that SIME is a party where entrepreneurs and people in the digital arena are the rock stars. Its a party like no other you have seen – fun, inspiration, business and knowledge. I still remember when I first went to Stockholm and someone said “Its a conference in a night club”. And how true it is.

SIME – It’s your party and you are welcome to a new world of knowledge, inspiration, business and fun :)

SIME Awards: Published the Draft Edition

Just a quick note to say, sorry, we stand digitally corrected.

We realized that we published the draft or earlier version of the Mighty 36 order yesterday, a mistake that makes few companies go up and down the list, not giving you the final numbers of what the entire jury agreed on.  And we realized it today (yes the after-party helped us), and we have corrected it. So if you were in the Mighty 36 and wondered why your rankings differed so drastically as compared to yesterday, we are sorry.

The final ranking can be found here.

Congrats folks, you are all stars of the Nordics!
