With 50 years of driving the energy industry forward, the Offshore Northern Seas exhibition and conference (also known as ONS) continues to foster international collaboration. The upcoming ONS 2026 is scheduled for 24 - 27 August. It will be held at the Stavanger Forum. Over 1,000 companies will showcase clean energy technologies and solutions to a qualified audience of more than 70,000 trade visitors.
The exhibition will cover the entire value chain. During the four-day event, ONS 2026 participants will have access to energy innovations involving offshore wind, solar power, hydrogen, and more. The ONS Conference will delve into policies, strategies and challenges impacting the future of energy on a global scale. Net Zero Markets will stage shorter sessions focused on renewable energy perspectives. The ONS Scale-Ups platform will connect scale-up companies and investors.
The ONS+ area, based separately from the main venue, will provide an informal setting for after-hours discussions, energy debates and various networking activities. Its pavilions will be located alongside the Stavanger Harbour.
Professionals attending the energy exhibition and conference in Stavanger are advised to make their accommodation arrangements early on, while the most attractive properties are still available for the ONS 2026 dates. We at ExpoBeds have negotiated special room rates at numerous hotels in proximity to the Stavanger Forum, the airport, and in the city centre.
