Sweden Social Web Camp

Sweden Social Web Camp (SSWC) was a Swedish user-generated conference (or unconference) held on the island of Tjärö, Karlshamn Municipality, active between 2009 and 2013.

As anyone could decide to run a workshop during the event other, non-social web, subjects have of course turned up on the unconference grid.

[1] In 2009, Tomas Wennström and Kristin Heinonen told some friends via their blog that they were considering meeting up a few people on an island and talk about the social web.

[4] A book, SSWC-boken, was crowdsourced by Mattias Boström and 180+ essays making up 591 pages were printed and sold at the event.

[8] The 2015 event was then cancelled due to the sale of the island of Tjärö and closure of most of its infrastructure,[9] and failure to find an appropriate replacement site.
