COVID-19 statement
Norway will open their borders for residents of several EU countries from the 15th of July. But it remains uncertain whether travelling to Norway is possible at the beginning of October due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we, as organizing committee, decided that the coming edition of the Nordic Winter Sports Conference will be held digitally. The dates, the 1st and 2nd of October, remain unchanged.
