Gårda Konferens

What Gårda Konferens does

Gårda Konferens is a family-owned conference and meeting facility located on the ground floor of 'Gröna Skrapan' (The Green Skyscraper) in the Gårda district of Göteborg, Sweden. The company operates 13 configurable rooms — including 7 furniture-adaptable conference rooms, 4 boardrooms, and shared collaborative areas — equipped with modern AV technology such as TV screens and Logitech Meetup video systems to support hybrid meetings. On-site food and beverage service is provided through an associated restaurant, Hildas Restaurang, with an in-house kitchen offering breakfast, lunch, fika (Swedish coffee breaks with pastries), and full-day catering using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

The business generates revenue primarily through room rental on an hourly or daily basis, with a published Drop-in rate of 525 SEK/hour or 2,800 SEK for a full day (maximum 6 persons, bookable at least 2 days in advance). A self-serve online booking portal supplements direct phone and email bookings. Customers are predominantly Gothenburg-area businesses hosting corporate conferences, training sessions, workshops, and board meetings. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on direct client relationships supported by an active presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, and a content-marketing guide on conference planning.

The company's competitive positioning is anchored in dual sustainability credentials: Green Key international environmental certification (awarded September 2023) and location in the Nordic region's first Platinum LEED-certified building (80+ LEED points). These certifications, combined with the family-owned personal-service model and home-cooked food offering, differentiate the facility from corporate conference chains. The same ownership group operates the Landvetter Airport Hotel, suggesting a broader hospitality portfolio in the Gothenburg region.

Direct peers

• Gothia Towers: Gothenburg's largest conference hotel and a major dedicated event complex. Operates in the same city as Gårda Konferens and competes for the same corporate conference and training demand, but at materially larger scale with on-site accommodation bundled in.
• Elmia: Dedicated convention and conference center in Jönköping, Sweden. Closely comparable as a purpose-built conference venue offering meeting rooms, catering, and event services for corporate and association clients.
• Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre: Dedicated conference and congress center in central Stockholm. Comparable as a purpose-built meeting venue offering modular rooms, AV, and on-site F&B — similar business model to Gårda but in the larger Stockholm market.
• Berns Salonger: Historic Stockholm event and conference venue offering meeting spaces, banqueting, and corporate hospitality. Comparable in being a venue-first (rather than hotel-first) operator focused on meetings and catered events.
• Münchenbryggeriet: Stockholm-based event and conference venue offering flexible meeting rooms, banqueting, and corporate event hosting. Comparable as a venue-led competitor serving similar corporate and association use cases.
• Conventum: Conference and event venue in Örebro, Sweden. Comparable in being a standalone conference facility offering meeting rooms, AV, and catering for corporate events, training, and workshops.

Broad incumbents

• Quality Hotel (Nordic Choice Hotels): Nordic hotel group (including Quality, Clarion, and Clarion Collection brands) with extensive meeting and conference facilities across Sweden. Competes in the same corporate MICE category as part of a broad lodging portfolio.
• Elite Hotels of Sweden: Swedish hotel chain with conference and meeting facilities across multiple properties. Overlaps with Gårda on the corporate meeting segment but distributes it across an accommodation-led portfolio.
• Scandic Hotels: Nordic hotel chain operating a broad portfolio of meeting and conference facilities across Sweden. Competes for the same corporate MICE demand but as part of a wider accommodation-led portfolio rather than a dedicated venue.

Regional players

• Landvetter Airport Hotel: Sister property under common ownership with Gårda Konferens, offering meeting and conference capacity near Gothenburg Landvetter Airport. Comparable as a conference venue in the Gothenburg region but lodging-attached, complementing rather than directly substituting Gårda's standalone city-center offering.
