VENUEThe home of the Nordic APIs Platform Summit this year is Globen, the largest hemispherical building in the world. It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts (fun fact: this is where the European Song Contest was held earlier this year). Even though the Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit won’t host an event for 16,000 spectators, we’re very happy that this is where we’ll host our biggest event yet. Globen has a very central location – it doesn’t take more than 11 minutes to get there by metro from Stockholm Central.
AddressGloben is located in Globe City, Johanneshov district, 121 77 Stockholm

You can also download the “SL” app. If you register your card you can buy tickets via that app, and show the ticket to the buss driver, or scan it right by the latches down in the metro. However, it’s easier to just use a metro card.
Visit their website here.
TIP To easily get around in Stockholm we strongly recommend that you download the free app “Res i Sthlm” (Travel in Stockholm). The app is in Swedish but it’s easily navigable and will show you exactly how you should travel to reach your destination in the fastest possible way.
Just type in where you want to travel from (Från) and where you’d like to go (Till). Then you press “Sök” (Search) and the app will show you how you should travel and different departure times. You can also choose which time you’d like to go (När), either by the earliest time you’d like to leave (Tidigast åka) or when you want to arrive at the latest (Senast framme).
