World Congress

Michael — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:37:51 +0000

The next World Conference for the Hard of Hearing will be held in Norway, 25^th – 28^thJune 2012.

The conference venue is located in the second largest and most beautiful city in Norway, Bergen. It is a very special city with a lot of charm, where you will find “everything” in a short walking distance.

Bergen has given a warm welcome to visitors for more than 900 years. “Bryggen”, in the harbour, has become a symbol of the cultural heritage and has gained a place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The city is surrounded by seven mountains. You can get to the top of two of them and have a marvellous view of the city.

Bergen is called “The Gateway to the Fjords”. The city is surrounded by one of the world’s most spectacular tourist attractions – the Norwegian Fjords, which have now been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Bergen is also the starting point for a cruise along the Norwegian coast which will take you all the way up to the most northern city in the world. The Norwegian fjords was on Oct 21 2009 voted the No 1 Travel Destination in the word by The National Geographic Traveler Magazine. You will hence have a lot of possibilities to combine the conference with a wonderful vacation.

The planning of the conference has started and we can already now promise you a very interesting few days. The main theme will probably be “A Better Life”, with several well qualified and interesting speakers.

The venue for the conference will be The Grieg Hall, a Culture and Conference center having its name from the famous Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg. It is located in the city centre of Bergen, within walking distance from all hotels, sights and restaurants.

Upcoming news and conference developments will be posted at this web site, so please remember to bookmark this web site.

We are glad and proud to invite you to Bergen in 2012, to a conference which will give you new knowledge which can give you a better life as hard of hearing. You will be able to interact with several hundred participants from all over the world, in a destination where it almost never get dark at that time of the year and in a picturesque city which will offer you beautiful and interesting experiences!

Welcome to Norway in 2012 and to a few days you will remember for the rest of your life!
