Stavanger Forum is one of Norway’s few conference and exhibition centres and is able to offer 30 meeting rooms with capacities from 10 to 5,000 people. It has roughly 15,000 square metres of stand space. The largest plenary hall can be split into three smaller auditoria and can accommodate 864 people for a banquet with long tables.
Combined with its 690 square metre indoor plaza, there is plenty of opportunity to stage large and more demanding events within the centre. The Rica Forum Hotel, with 182 rooms, is part of the same complex as the conference centre, and it also cooperates with all the other hotels in the region.
Stavanger Forum has five multi-purpose halls on-site. The largest is able to accommodate 5,000 people in theatre-style for congresses, whereas others can accommodate 3,000 people for concerts and 1,500 for banquets. This helps make Stavanger Forum the perfect venue for a wide range of large events.
Experienced staff
Both the conference centre and the halls can be tailored to suit most requirements including small tabletop exhibitions, large international trade fairs, banquets and concerts. Stavanger Forum has its own in-house international professional congress organiser (PCO). Experienced staff serve as an adviser, partner and coordinator, helping clients with all practical details before, during and after a congress. Stavanger Forum welcomes other PCO’s to utilise the centre for their events.
Social activities
Stavanger is situated on the edge of the fjords and offers an excellent diversity of outdoor and social activities. As the oil capital of Norway, the city has also assumed a cosmopolitan character.
