Pavilions

Every night during ONS, Stavanger Harbour is transformed into a small, urban village of energy – pavilions.

We are eager to give you a place to really invest in the value of business after hours. One way of doing this is to host a pavillion for network, debates and receptions. The pavilions along the harbour offer food, drink, entertainment and energy discussions.

We offer a ready-to-use pavilion where all the basic infrastructure is set up in advance. This includes tent, flooring, lighting, water, electricity, heating, and garden area.

ONS coordinates several energy debates and might request to use the pavilion as a location for some of these activities. The pavilion should be open to all during the official opening hours of ONS+.

See map to the right for the 2024 set up.

Book your own pavilion along the Stavanger harbour
The pavilion comes ready with basic infrastructure (flooring/garden area/ electricity/lightning/water)
The pavilion should offer food and drinks for sale

We encourage pavilion owners to host energy debates

ONS+ Global Relay For Life

The race is a collaboration between ONS and the Norwegian Cancer Society - because energy and health goes together.
The Global Relay For Life race is open to everyone in Stavanger – and everyone at ONS. Support a good cause while you get some activity.

The ONS road race is one of the biggest in the region and takes place on the Wednesday during the ONS week.

The companies exhibiting at ONS often encourage their staff and families to join this fun race. The race has a family-focus and traditionally 40% of the participants are children.

The course is only four kilometres long, from the ONS venue to the centre of Stavanger. At the finishing line, there’s food, drink, and entertainment on the stage.

The runners can decide whether they want to run their fastest, jog, run in fancy dress – or just take a stroll together from ONS to the city centre.
