1. Oslofjord is one of the largest event destinations in the Nordic region
Oslofjord has capacity for events with up to 10,000 participants and approximately 1,750 hotel rooms in one integrated destination. This makes it one of the largest venues in the Nordics for conferences, congresses and large-scale events. Not only is it large, it is also highly flexible and can be adapted to almost any type of event, whether organisers need the entire destination or only selected parts of it.
2. Everything is gathered in one place
Hotel rooms, meeting spaces and arenas are integrated into one connected destination. This creates shorter walking distances and simplifies logistics for both organisers and participants. The layout and location help keep attendees together throughout the event experience. Oslofjord offers restaurants, bars, cafés, kiosks and a large-scale kitchen operation capable of serving everything from small meetings to major events. The destination also includes extensive outdoor areas, a private beach and a marina.
3. Oslofjord is one of very few venues of its size not surrounded by highways and urban infrastructure
Most large conference and event venues in Europe are located next to major cities, heavy traffic and dense infrastructure. At Oslofjord, participants instead meet fjord views, nature and open surroundings while still benefiting from international-scale capacity and logistics.
4. Oslofjord is designed for many different types of events
The destination is built for everything from conferences and congresses to sports events, cultural productions and large gatherings with complex logistical requirements. The combination of facilities, infrastructure and location makes Oslofjord particularly well suited for events with high security requirements.
5. Large events can be hosted without splitting participants across multiple hotels
Hotel buildings, meeting spaces and arenas are connected throughout the destination. With around 1,750 hotel rooms located on-site, large events can be hosted without participants being spread across multiple hotels or transported between venues.
6. Oslofjord was designed by renowned architect Niels Torp
The architect behind projects such as Aker Brygge in Oslo, Oslo Airport Gardermoen and Heathrow Terminal 2 also designed Oslofjord.
7. Oslofjord creates value far beyond its own boundaries
A recent analysis by Menon Economics shows that activity at Oslofjord contributes approximately NOK 490 million in annual value creation and supports around 650 jobs. The analysis also found that Oslofjord purchases goods and services from nearly 880 Norwegian suppliers, creating economic activity throughout the region and across Norway.
8. Up to 1,500 people are working during the largest events
Behind major events is an extensive operation involving logistics, technology, catering, operations and coordination. When activity reaches its peak, as many as 1,500 people can be working across the destination to ensure everything runs smoothly.
9. Oslofjord is closer than many people think
Oslofjord is located by the fjord in Vestfold, just over one hour from Oslo and around 15 minutes from Torp Sandefjord Airport. This makes it easy to gather participants from both Norway and abroad in one place.
10. Oslofjord is entering a new phase
Today, Oslofjord is owned by the life-stance-neutral Oslofjord Foundation and operates as a destination for national and international conferences, congresses, sporting events, cultural productions and large-scale gatherings. Since the ownership transition in 2024, Oslofjord has strengthened its commercial focus and is actively working to attract more national and international events to Vestfold and Norway.
Many people have heard of Oslofjord, but there is still much about the destination that surprises first-time visitors. Perhaps it is precisely the combination of scale, nature, logistics and connectedness that makes Oslofjord different from what many expect.
