Catering
This will be arranged in hall C and hall D1. There will be 4.600 sqm set aside for seating area. We have estimated this to be sufficient for 4000 persons to be seated at the same time. There will also be approximately 2.000 sqm set aside in connection to this area designated for catering. There will also be one performance area in each of these two halls, but there will be sound reducing curtains around these areas so that the lunch areas will maintain a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Catering for VIPs is planned to be inside the Thon Hotel Arena. There will be a capacity of about 400 persons at the same time in the hotel.
Meeting point
Hall A1 is designated for this purpose. This hall is approximately 3.100 sqm in total, and it is in the midst of all the activity. This part of the venue will be separated from the performance halls so that it will be possible to have both rest areas, national stands, information stands and exhibitions, and to give and receive information.
