en sammankallare

convener

Definition & meaning

A sammankallare is a person responsible for calling or convening a meeting. The role involves bringing participants together; it does not necessarily mean that the person also chairs the meeting.

Grammar & Word origin

A common-gender noun: en sammankallare. Its plural is also sammankallare.

It is formed from the verb sammankalla , “to convene” or “to call together,” and the agent suffix -are, which denotes a person who performs an action.

Synonyms & antonyms

  • sammankallande — a close alternative, often used for the person responsible for convening a group or meeting.
  • mötesorganisatör — a meeting organizer; this is broader and may include planning beyond simply calling the meeting.

There is no common exact antonym. A mötesdeltagare (“meeting participant”) may attend without being responsible for convening it, but is not strictly an opposite.
