We are thrilled to welcome you to the much-awaited Norway Fintech Festival, a two-day celebration of innovation and collaboration in the fintech industry, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bergen, the picturesque city nestled between fjords and seven majestic mountains.
This guide is designed to help you make the most of your festival experience, offering an overview of the fintech program, hotel accommodations, and a plethora of things to see and do during your time in Bergen.
16th April
Join the welcome party at USF Verftet right by the waterside in downtown Bergen. This is a great way to get a head start on the festival networking, get your festival pass and badge early, and get into the festival spirit.
Doors open at 19:00, where there will be nibbles and drinks until aprox. 21:00. Feel free to stay out for longer, but remember you have a big day ahead of you.
17. April
The opening act of day one starts 09:00 and is packed with content until 16:15. We highly recommend looking through the extensive program and booking in meetings ahead of time to get the most out of your day.
After the program finishes, you have some time to wind down, get something to eat, or join other attendees for some festivities before the official festival concert opens at 19:30. Look forward to a banging musical experience from the energetic duo behind Ka2: Didrik Thulin and Sondre Alvestad, and get mesmerized by Michelle Ullestad and groove to her catchy pop-tunes.
