Where leaders are made
Speak with confidence in the heart of Gothenburg. A friendly Toastmasters club helping you grow as a speaker, leader, and communicator — one meeting at a time.
A proud member club of Toastmasters InternationalJoin us every other Monday
Our club meets every other Monday in central Gothenburg. Guests are always welcome to observe, participate, or simply learn more.
Come as a guest
Visiting is free and no preparation is needed. See how a meeting works, meet members, and decide if Toastmasters is right for you. Guests are welcome up to three times — enough to get a real feel for the club.
- No experience required
- English-speaking environment
- Networking with driven professionals
- Build confidence at your own pace
Where it can lead
From guest in the back row to speaking on a stage
Nobody expects you to have a plan. But it helps to know what the road looks like, because plenty of members have walked further along it than they ever intended.
Come and watch
Visit two or three meetings as a guest. Free, no sign-up, no speaking required. Bring a friend if that makes it easier.
Say your first words
Most people start with a Table Topic, then an Ice Breaker speech: four minutes about you. That is the whole brief.
Pick a Pathway
Toastmasters Pathways is your own curriculum — a series of speech projects in the direction you care about, with feedback after every single one.
Run part of the evening
Time-keeper, evaluator, Table Topics master, Toastmaster of the day. Small leadership steps that transfer straight into your work.
Go further than you planned
Contests at club, area and district level, conferences in other cities, mentoring newcomers, or sitting on the board. Several of us are here because someone nudged us to try.
Rooted in Gothenburg
A local club with global standards
We are proud to call Gothenburg home. From the harbor and the bridges to the trams running through the city, our club reflects the open, curious spirit of Sweden's west coast.
Connected community
Meet professionals from across the city and region.
Easy to reach
Conveniently located near tram lines and public transport.
International mindset
Meetings in English, open to all cultures and backgrounds.
Local warmth
Small-club feel with the full Toastmasters program.
What to expect at a meeting
Every meeting is a safe, supportive space to practice, learn, and connect with fellow speakers in Gothenburg.
Members deliver structured speeches and receive constructive feedback to improve delivery and content.
Table Topics sharpen your ability to think and speak clearly on the spot — in a fun, low-pressure format.
Run the meeting as Toastmaster, evaluate speakers, or take on a support role to grow your leadership skills.
We celebrate progress together. Whether you are shy or seasoned, you will feel welcome here.
Coffee, cake and conversation. The break is where you get to know the club — many members will tell you it is where the real connections happen.
Not every other Monday is the same
Alongside our regular meetings we run themed evenings, workshops, invited guest speakers, joint sessions with other Gothenburg organisations, and the occasional meeting somewhere new downtown — usually followed by food or a drink. Every evening has a proper break: the part where the conversations really start. If a normal meeting feels like a big first step, these are an easier door in.
Meet the people
These are the humans you will meet. Engineers, founders, teachers, students and newcomers to Sweden — plus a suspicious amount of interest in coffee, sourdough and long walks. Our board is elected by the members every year, and these are the people who will greet you at your first meeting.
