SoberPride 2008
Schedule / Program
(Latest update 05-31-2008 / Senast uppdaterad 2008-05-31)
Because of the international nature of SoberPride – with people coming from all over the world – all functions are held in English, except when otherwise noted. Konventen och möten kommer att hållas på engelska för att vara så tillgängliga som möjligt för våra besökare.
All times are written in 24hr format. For example, 7:00PM is written 19.00, and 07.00 means 7:00AM.
