The area has been used for four annual trade fairs since 2014: OTD (the oil fair), Norway's largest car fair, Dra til Sjøs and Boligmessen. The trade fair area is compact, and the entire exhibitor area is divided into only 2 large halls. This gives both exhibitors and visitors a good overview and easy navigation without long aisles and corridors.

The large space by Hall A is used for both the exhibition area and catering - and on a sunny day it's like sitting by the sea and enjoying life. If we get a bit of moisture in the air, we just move under one of the large serving tents.

In 2026, we will move registration outside Hall C.

Food and drink

There is a wide range of food and drinks at HavExpo. Our own cafes are run by volunteers from Sotra Sports Club, and deliver top-class food. As an exhibitor, you can also order food for your stand from here.

Transportation

Getting to HavExpo is easy. We have set up free shuttle buses from the airport and Bergen city center. The shuttle buses are free and will take you right to the door.

Hotels and accommodation

HavExpo has had a large block of rooms set aside for visitors and exhibitors. This block has now expired. Please contact us if you have any problems with rooms and we will do everything we can to help. Regarding the ongoing strike, the hotels are still open within the applicable limits. We are monitoring the situation from day to day, and will share information on this page and in other media if the situation changes. So far, things are looking good in terms of the hotels being able to stay open.
