The Norwegian Authorities has today prohibited all events of more than 500 people until 1 September 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As a direct consequence, the ONS Foundation is forced to cancel ONS 2020.
For ONS, the decision is truly hard to take, but the health and safety of all our visitors, exhibitors and other participants must be the number one priority. ONS gathers around 70 000 people from over 100 countries during the four days of the event. With the situation of the global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, it would be impossible to go through with this yearś planned event.
– It is with a heavy heart we have to cancel ONS 2020. This is the first time in our 46-year-long history that we have been forced to cancel. ONS is of great importance for many, however health and safety must come first, says CEO and President of ONS, Leif Johan Sevland.
We are now working through the implications of this unprecedented situation.
Thereafter we will try to bring some of our programme in digital formats and continue the work to bring you the best possible ONS 2022 event.
