ACROSS THE CITY

SIDE EVENT DAY

September 15 is dedicated to community-led side events taking place across Malmö. From breakfasts, workshops, and mini-conferences to sauna sessions, runs, dinners, and locally brewed beers, the day is shaped by attendees themselves.

It's a chance to dive into niche topics, meet people in smaller groups, and experience The Drop beyond the main event.
