Scandinavian conference to be held virtually in 2021

With the global coronavirus pandemic still making international travel and larger social gatherings a health risk, the annual Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference is cancelled for the second year in a row. Instead, a mini-conference will be held virtually this year to allow regular attendees to connect for a few sessions of Bible study, prayer and ministry updates.

Ever since the first Calvary Chapel Scandinavia conference was held in the summer of 1999 in Malmø, Sweden it has been held every year in either Sweden or Denmark for 20 consecutive years until the global coronavirus pandemic forced the 2020 conference to be cancelled last year.

The conference organizers have now confirmed that the conference hiatus will have to be extended by yet another year as it is not yet fully safe to stage a conference of this nature with over a hundred participants traveling from multiple countries. The 2021 conference was due to take place in Vingåker, Sweden on July 28th to August 1st.

"We are disappointed to confirm that we have to cancel the 2021 conference. It is just not safe yet for all of us to come together in the way we normally would like to. To give the CCS community an opportunity to connect, we have decided to arrange a virtual mini-conference instead, which will contain a handful of virtual sessions to run in the weekend when the normal conference would have taken place. We expect to announce more details about this shortly," says Daniel Jacobsen, member of the CCS conference team of organizers.

Please mark your calendars for July 30th and 31st when these virtual sessions are expected to take place.

More information will be shared soon about exact timings and the content and format of the sessions themselves.
