Both Östersund and Frösön offer distinctive settings for meetings and conferences in northern Sweden, where city access, lake surroundings and a combination of fashionable and resort-style meeting environments create space for both focus and experience.

Östersund and Frösön as meeting destinations

Östersund is the regional centre of Jämtland, with a business landscape shaped by public services, education, tourism, trade a recognised gastronomy profile as part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network. For conference planners, this creates a destination with both professional relevance and a clear local identity.
The city is accessible via Åre Östersund Airport, while Östersund Central Station connects the destination to the wider Swedish rail network. This makes it possible to bring delegates together in a setting where the city, Lake Storsjön and Frösön each add something different to the programme.

Conference venue and meeting facilities

Conference hotels in Östersund and on Frösön offer two distinct meeting formats. In the city centre, the experience is more fashionable, urban and design-led, with meeting rooms suited to conferences, workshops, board meetings and evening events close to restaurants, shopping and cultural life.
On Frösön, the meeting format becomes more resort-style and expansive, with an experience-led approach shaped by larger conference and event spaces, concept rooms, spa facilities and outdoor surroundings. This makes it possible to build programmes that move between plenary sessions, workshops, meals, activities and recovery without losing the sense of one coherent setting.
Spa facilities add value in both formats, but in different ways. In the city, they can help participants reset before an evening programme. On Frösön, spa becomes part of the wider meeting rhythm, giving groups time to recover, reconnect and return to the agenda with renewed energy.
Meeting spaces across venues are equipped for presentations, hybrid meetings and collaborative work, with flexible layouts, breakout options and technical solutions suited to the structure of the programme.

Corporate events and programme opportunities

Östersund and Frösön also offer relevant opportunities for activities beyond the meeting room, especially when the lake, island setting and surrounding nature become part of the programme.
Walks by Storsjön, time on Frösön, golf, skiing or outdoor activities can add movement and perspective to the day without making the programme feel overloaded. These elements work well for corporate events, leadership gatherings and teams that benefit from a balance between structure, energy and recovery.
Restaurants in Östersund and restaurants on Frösön create space for shared dinners and local food experiences, making it easy to extend the programme into the evening with a clear sense of place.
For conferences, executive gatherings and corporate events, Östersund and Frösön offer a setting where city access, fashionable meeting environments, island space and spa-led recovery can be combined into programmes that feel focused, well composed and easy to bring together.
