History and setting
The building closed for nearly a year and reopened after a complete renovation. The Storsalen is a new addition. The center stands in Vika, in central Oslo.
Getting there
Vika is central and easy to reach by public transport. The nearest car park is Vestre Vika P-hus, entered from Munkedamsveien. The center can be contacted by phone on +47 21 09 67 20 or by email at inghus.konferanse@motekompaniet.no. The official pages do not mention overnight accommodation, so groups staying over should book hotels separately and plan their hours around the packages above. Organisers who need a large plenary and a few parallel workshops can often stay in one building here, with the Festsal or Storsalen for the plenary and Sophus Lie, Eyde and Birkeland for workshops.
