A compact city that opens up.
Oslo is a refreshingly different capital — in its mindset, pace, offering and accessibility. Bring an event here and everyone who comes feels it before the programme starts. Flat structures make it easy to reach the people you want: speakers, partners, the city itself. Nature isn't something you leave the city for. The fjord and the forest are both inside the city limits, so a break can be a walk, a swim or a ski, minutes from the venue. Refreshingly different isn't a slogan. It's what they'll experience when they get here.
Why hold it here.
For organisers, airlines and partners weighing Oslo against other European cities.

What we bring to an event.
Oslo&Co brings new international events to Oslo, and amplifies the ones already here. Backed by the City of Oslo, we open doors across sectors: clusters, research groups, industry and city government, then hand you the contacts and arguments you need to build your case. VisitOSLO and the wider event community supply what happens next: the practical expertise to make it real on the ground. Nobody here works alone.
Whether you are planning an international congress, a scientific conference or an industry summit, Oslo&Co is here to help, free of charge. We are funded by the City of Oslo and act as your single point of contact. One conversation is all it takes, and we route you to the right people in the city. Our team knows who to talk to, which environments fit your program, and what Oslo can actually document. We make introductions that hold, connecting organizers with clusters, research groups, industry and city government. We also provide the data, arguments and city backing you need to make a strong case to your board. Once your event is confirmed, we help put it in front of the audiences in Oslo who should be in the room.
Start with a conversation.
