Symposiums archive
Our alumni network has in its way existed long ago before the Malmstens Alumni was officially founded in 2019. The most recent symposium held place in Stockholm in September 2022. Please see more information below. The 2005 and 2007 Vadstena symposiums were not organized by Malmstens Alumni association, but it was in first hand craftsmen and artisans with Malmstens background who pulled the strings and made these hiostoric events a reality. Therefore we would like to share these postprints with all interested.
