One community. Twelve months.
Rebel Arena in central Oslo is NIC ON's home, and digital formats carry the conversation beyond the room. The programme is taking shape now, together with the community and our partners.
One topic, with real depth. Expert talks, demos and honest debate.
A short, sharp update before the working day starts.
Workshops where you build, test and learn by doing.
Low threshold, high energy. Keeps relationships warm between the deep dives.
Why people keep coming back
Topics shaped by what technology teams face right now, with room for practical insight and honest debate.
Specialists, leaders and partners compare experience across roles and find better answers together.
Never more than a few weeks from the next NIC touchpoint. Every gathering builds towards October and carries it forward.
Deep dives, hands-on sessions and informal evenings between conferences.
Recordings for when you can't be in the room.

Twelve months, not three days.
A relationship, not a stand
Meet the same practitioners and decision-makers through the year, not once in October.
Expertise on stage, on NIC's terms
Partners contribute knowledge and demos. NIC keeps the curation, so it stays independent and worth showing up for.
Shape the programme from the start
The 2027 programme is being built now, with partners and the community.
