The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung is Germany´s oldest political foundation. Established in 1925, the FES is celebrating its 100^th anniversary this year. To mark this occasion, FES Nordic Countries is looking for an agency to collaborate with the event planning, management and evaluation.

The event will take place in central Stockholm and is scheduled for mid-November. It is designed as an after-work event and we expect around 100 distinguished guests and keynote speakers.

• Implementation of the FES´ framework for public procurement, internal financial regulation and administration.
• Amongst the organizational tasks to be conducted are: location scouting with the team, event conception, organization of technical detail, catering, manning registration and cloakroom on the day as well as other monitoring tasks (approx. 10h)
