On behalf of the organizing team, I want to send a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for being a part of the ECMTA Autumn Meeting in Gothenburg. Your presence, insights, and enthusiasm truly made the event a special experience, and we are so grateful for your contributions.
The Members’ Forum, master classes, and Key Speakers’ presentations were wonderful opportunities for meaningful conversations and the exchange of ideas, helping to advance the goals of our community. It’s through these kinds of interactions that we continue to grow and collaborate, and your active participation played a key role in that.
A special thank you goes out to Tobias Granmo for his outstanding contributions, which were instrumental in shaping the success of the event. We also extend our deepest appreciation to all the Key Speakers from the Gothenburg Academy of Music and Drama. Their expertise and thought-provoking presentations added so much value and enriched the discussions for all of us.
You are all an essential part of the ECMTA family, and we are excited to continue working together to support the mission and goals of our organization.
Thank you once again for your involvement, and we look forward to seeing you at future events!
Warmest regards,
Maila Laidna
