Life At Bonnier - Jonas Bonnier

Great Ideas, Fantastic Speakers

Bonnier Media University's Stefan Mehr on the upcoming GRID conference.

In early 2008, Jonas Bonnier approached Stefan Mehr of Bonnier Media University with an idea to create a completely different kind of media conference that had nothing explicit to do with Bonnier business. "We wanted to create something very unconventional, revolving around storytelling by outstanding speakers, since storytelling is the essence of what Bonnier is all about," says Mehr, who was charged with turning the idea into reality.

GRID09 – see the speakers here!

The Bonnier summit GRID09 was a great success. During two days, more than 250 colourful people from the Bonnier world gathered to be inspired by 14 international speakers – and by each other.

GRID is not an annual meeting of Bonnier AB.  Nor is it the average media conference.

GRID is a two-day summit designed to expand our brain space. The goal is to encourage, inspire and enable networking throughout the company. Host Jonas Bonnier, CEO Bonnier, and over 250 of the many colorful and passionate people from Bonnier companies around the globe, came to Alfred Nobel's gunpowder factory at Winterviken in Stockholm August 31–September 1.
