Oslo Convention Bureau's main mission is to find, motivate and help Norwegian research environments, institutions and organisations to host international conferences. The department works purposefully to promote Oslo as an attractive and sustainable destination for meetings and congresses to the international B2B market, and works closely with Innovation Norway on this matter.

Oslo Convention Bureau prioritises to participate in relevant international arenas, close to international research environments within the congress market, as well as potential buyers within the meetings and incentives market.

Oslo Convention Bureau advises organisers throughout the planning phase, from the first step and up until the event takes place.

The department also works with promoting Oslo to international tour operators in a collaboration with the destinations in VisitOsloRegion – such as attending to Norwegian Travel Workshop (NTW).

Head of department: Kristin Guttormsen Overvaag
