Arrangörerna

Arrangörerna is the Swedish term for the people or organizations responsible for organizing an event or activity. The singular form is arrangören and the definite plural form arrangörerna, used when referring to the organizers as a group.

In practice, arrangörer can be individuals, companies, associations, clubs, or public authorities. Their responsibilities typically include conceptualizing the event, budgeting and financing, booking venues and services, scheduling, coordinating performers or speakers, marketing and ticketing, logistics (transport, accommodation, equipment), and ensuring safety, legal compliance, and accessibility. They may work with sponsors, volunteers, and suppliers, and perform post-event evaluation.

Contexts: The term is used across cultural events (concerts, theatre), sports competitions, conferences, festivals, and public demonstrations. In the music industry, arrangören is sometimes translated as promoter. The relationship to other roles can vary; sometimes the organizer and promoter are separate actors, while in other cases one entity fulfills both functions.

Organization: Arrangörer can operate as for-profit companies or non-profit organizations and may collaborate with co-organizers or other stakeholders. Legal obligations depend on jurisdiction and event type, including permits, insurance, liability, health and safety planning, and data protection for ticketing.
