When and where?

The Gathering has become an Easter tradition for nerds from all over the world. We begin the party some time in the morning of Wednesday, 23rd March (exact time pending), and wrap it all up in the morning of Sunday, 27th March, after several days filled to the brim with competitions, stage shows, new friendships and questionable sleep habits.

The Gathering 2016 take place in Vikingskipet, Hamar. Hamar is located 1h and 20 minutes outside of Oslo by train (a little less than one hour if you go directly from Oslo Airport Gardermoen). Vikingskipet (Hamar Olympic Hall) is a venue originally built for the 1994 Winter Olympics. It has housed The Gathering every Easter since 1996.
