Practical Information

Traveling to Oslo? First time attendee to the conference? Look no further. We have put together some useful information to ensure you get the most out of the conference.

Getting There

There are currently no coronavirus-related restrictions in Norway.

Getting to Oslo from the airport

The fastest and cheapest way to get to Oslo from the airport is by train. Tickets for the Airport Express Train are available at the arrivals area at OSL.

Both train stations in the Oslo city center (Oslo S and Nationaltheatret) are served by the airport express train and within walking distance of the venue. Use the one closest to your hotel.

Visit Oslo has useful information for travelers arriving at OSL airport.

Note: Several airports may sometimes be referred to as "Oslo Airport". The recommended airport is Gardermoen (OSL).

The Venue

NOTE: Cold Incident Response has relocated.

As of 2023, the conference is held at Eldorado Esport & Entertainment which is located in the middle of central Oslo. Converted from an old cinema, it is now a modern esports and gaming facility which also hosts events such as conferences and live studio broadcasts. This is our first time hosting the conference away from our traditional home at Telenor Expo, Fornebu. We promise to do all that we can to bring you the experience you have come to expect there over the years.

Attendees will be provided with a light sandwich-based lunch, which is sponsored for the event but you are also free to explore a vast array of lunch options available in the surrounding area. Let us know upon registration if you have any dietary restrictions or other needs that we should take into account.

NOTE: The two workshops are NOT located at Eldorado. They are held respectively at the mnemonic HQ in Henrik Ibsens Gate and the Sopra Steria HQ in Biskop Gunnerus Gate (Posthuset).
