Social Programme

Thursday, 4 June 2026 (19:00-23:00)
Welcome Cocktail
Oslo Opera House, The Foyer

One of Oslo’s most distinctive cultural landmarks is to host the EELA 2026 Conference Welcome Cocktail — a building whose angular structure rising from the Oslofjord has become known worldwide.
Designed by Snøhetta as an accessible public space — including its walkable roof — the Opera House creates a unique link between the city and the surrounding fjord landscape.
The spacious, glass-fronted foyer offers beautiful views of the waterfront and provides an elegant, inviting setting to meet fellow participants and begin the evening.

No transfer is provided: the Welcome Reception venue is located within approximately 5 minutes walking distance from the conference venue Clarion Hotel The Hub.

Tickets: included in the registration fee for all delegates

Location: Oslo Opera House, the foyer of the building

Address: Den Norske Opera & Ballett, Kirsten Flagstads pl. 1, Oslo
