As o'wolf said you need a passport to cross the border.
So please bring that for identification, we do not accept a drivers licence

There are two kinds of Swedish ID cards, there's the one you get at the bank/post office/whatever. This one is probably good enough for EF but it's not good enough for Schengen travel, so you'd still "need" to bring a passport...
...or you can get the other kind of Swedish National Identity Card, which is issued by the Police (at the same office where they issue passports). This type is good for travelling inside Schengen and should be good enough for EF as well. It also costs half as much as a passport.

Yeah, I did some poking about myself, and as I will most likely be staying a few days extra in Germany after the con is over at places which might not accept that type of ID, I guess I will have to drag my tail over to the police to get one issued anyhow, better safe than sorry I guess.

I found that a drivers licence it gennerally accepted as an ID, in some places a Visa, like in the rest of Europe. If in doubt bring a passport.
