Programme
ONS+
Debates, discussions and networking downtown Stavanger
A popular networking arena in the evenings for locals and visitors to ONS.
This is the place where you can relax after a long day at the exhibition, meet old friends and make new ones. Every night during ONS, Stavanger Harbour will be transformed into a small urban village. Pavilions placed along the harbour offer food, drinks and music, and are also important venues for debates, discussions and presentations around the theme of energy in society.
You may choose to listen to debates while enjoying a meal, or you can simply have a drink with friends.
The best part – it is free and open to all!
