Thursday, April 9th 2026 at 7 pm-10pm:  

Homecoming Dinner 

Get ready for a night of great food, good company, and unforgettable memories—straight from the house of CEO Michael Johansson himself! 

Michael is opening his doors for an exclusive evening where you can enjoy an incredible meal and spend quality time with the team.  

This isn’t your average dinner. Michaels got the culinary expertise (and TWO personal chefs with way more skills than any of us) to create a spread that will make you want to take a second plate. We’re talking everything from savory starters to a main course that could make a grown man cry (tears of joy, of course). And don’t even get us started on dessert. It’s life changing

It’s not just about the food—it’s about the people you’re dining with. This is your chance to sit down with Michael and the rest of the team in a relaxed, informal setting. Get to know the folks behind the scenes, share stories, and enjoy some good conversation. Whether you're discussing the latest project or just swapping funny anecdotes, this is the kind of event that makes real connections. 

This is a one-of-a-kind experience, and space is limited (because let’s face it, Michael’s dining room isn’t quite as big as a stadium). So, be sure to RSVP early to secure your spot. 

Join us for a night of delicious food, great company, and a chance to connect with the team in a way you won’t get anywhere else. Trust us, it’s going to be a dinner to remember! See you there! 

Address: You have to be signed up to get the address. 
The address will be sent out the day before the event.
