Hotels tend to sell out fast during the summer in Oslo. Escenic has reserved 100 rooms you can book yourself at a favorable price. Book your room at a favourable price with the booking code BESC140617.
On the evening of the first day of the conference, it's tradition to cruise the beautiful Oslo Fjord in an antique three-masted schooner. Expect good company, cold beer and delicious local food on board.
We hope for 28 degrees like last year, but please remember to bring some warm clothes as the norwegian summer can be rather unpredictable.
