Venue
Eriksbergshallen
14–15 April 2027
GoWest Main Conference and the Policy Forum takes place at Eriksbergshallen, a unique event venue in Gothenburg’s historic Eriksberg district, right by the waterfront.
Eriksbergshallen is a listed industrial heritage building on Gothenburg’s waterfront, set within the historic Eriksberg shipyard district. Once part of Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad, the converted shipyard building combines distinctive industrial character with panoramic views of the Göta Älv River and direct ferry access to the city centre. Today, it serves as a venue for conferences, exhibitions, concerts and large-scale events.
