Please join us for the second event of the Conversations series, with Kjell Bergh.

Conversations is designed to be an event series to take place 4 times per year at Norway House.  The series will feature current and former business leaders from major businesses in our region.  The format will be a fireside chat between 2 individuals, sharing stories and experiences from the early days of some of our flagship businesses in Minnesota. We envision a casual conversation over 30 to 40 minutes, and will encourage audience questions at the end, keeping the program to 60 minutes total.

Doors open at 11:30AM, program begins at 12:00PM
