ONS operates from Stavanger, Norway, where it is staged on a two-year basis. Editions fall only on even years and last four days at the end of summer. Usually, ONS is hosted between late August and early September.
Offshore Northern Seas Foundation and Stavanger Forum AS share responsibilities as the event organisers. The latter is also the official venue for the event. Admission is granted only to trade visitors, and opening hours are from 09:30 until 17:30 on the first three days and until 15:00 on the closing day.
Transportation is secured through the provision of shuttle buses. They travel from the event site to hotels to pick up trade visitors to Stavanger Forum. You can also use the local bus system for free by showing your ONS badge.
