Congress Hall

The Congress Hall was refurbished in 2008 and is now very modern, fresh and user-friendly. Despite its size, the hall feels intimate and warm, and it is also ideal for “smaller” groups – from 400 people and up (300 in banquet layout).

The Congress Hall is very flexible and can easily be divided into two or three separate areas – Hall A and Hall B + C or Hall A, Hall B and Hall C. Partition walls are made of oak and, naturally, sound-proofed.

The Oslo Congress Centre’s “great room” is very well equipped in technological terms. In addition to the standard technical equipment (projectors, screen and microphones), the hall also features a top-quality sound system and a ceiling-mounted lighting rig.

When booking the Congress Hall, one also enjoys priority access to the Foyer. The foyer can be used for registration, exhibitions and coffee breaks in conjunction with various types of meetings. For receptions and events, this area naturally lends itself to use as a refreshment or cocktail area.

Connected to the Congress Hall, one will find stage dressing rooms, an office, a meeting room section (Odin, Balder, Tyr and Frigg)  and Torgutsikten. This room is 194 m² and can be used as a “speakers prep room”, for exhibition or lunch etc.
