Compassion Conference 2020
When is Compassion Conference happening?
February 20-21, 2021.
Where is the conference taking place?
in The Congress Hall in Folkets Hus
Barnhusgatan 12-14, in central Stockholm, Sweden
What about speakers and program?
Gregg Braden will attend and give a talk on Saturday and a full day workshop on Sunday as previously planned. Also Anita Nowak and Sandy Newbigging are confirmed. We are signing new contracts beginning of April 2020, but they have confirmed via email. We are awaiting confirmation from Stewart Pearce and possibly new speakers.
Why is the event postponed?
Experts and the government of Sweden has decided to cancel events of 500 people. So it is with great regret we have decided to postpone Compassion Conference 2020 as we need to act responsibly in relation to the Corona virus. New date is February 20-21, 2021. We truly wish to create a safe and healthy environment in compassion where everyone attending feels happy and not stressed about joining our event.
What can I do if I have bought tickets?
Just sit tight. We are very busy re-organizing the event and are dealing with practical matters. It takes some time since we need to await responses and synchronize all involved and our resources are scarce. This means we cannot handle individual requests right now. We must prioritize and do one thing at a time. When everything is re-booked and ready we will give all of you who have purchased a ticket new information about the event and present you with an offer. So we ask for your patience. Your purchased ticket is valid at the new date.
What if I have made travel arrangements already?
Unfortunately we can not compensate anyone financially for any inconvenience this has caused you in terms of travel arrangements already made. We always advice our clients to book travel tickets and hotels with the possibility to cancel in case of illness, private issues or issues out of your control.
Can I refund my conference ticket?
We cannot handle individual requests right now since we are focusing on re-organizing the event, but we will get back to you with an offer asap via email. Please bare with us! Thank you for understanding!
Can I get a personal response?
We cannot handle private requests right now since we are focusing on re-organizing the event. If you have any further questions please email us and we will publish all general questions and answers here on this page so keep your eyes open here.
What is the situation in Stockholm Sweden like?

What is your position on spreading fear?
We realize that media (and others) are focusing on creating a level of fear in us all and do not only act to inform the public. And so we wish to let you know fear is not our reason for postponing this event. Fear must never take hold of us in our choices in life. In terms of the actual disease - most people can handle this virus well, but we do not wish to get in to the medical discussion of the virus. Please read about the actual virus, facts and numbers in the informed public channels and always check your source!
How do other organizations act?
This is an extremely unique world-wide situation - completely out of our hands. Something many organizations are trying their best to deal with and many companies now struggle to even survive. So please bare with us as we are doing our utmost to handle this with sense and compassion.
What do I do if I have more questions?
Email us and we will put all questions and answers here.
