The Digital Field Worker Forum is a one-day, invitation-only event for industry professionals working with the planning, testing, and implementation of digital solutions for field workers in industrial companies.

This will be small and exclusive event with only space for max 100 attendees. We want to keep this small so that you get the chance to do some proper networking when here. 

The program will feature 7 sessions in different formats, including keynotes and fireside chats. Speakers will include experienced representatives from Norwegian operators such as Equinor, Aker BP, ConocoPhillips and Vår Energi. They will share practical lessons learned from more than a decade of work with digital field worker initiatives, including what worked, what did not, and what they would do differently today.

Throughout the day, there will be dedicated time for networking. In addition, 8-10 carefully selected technology partners with proven solutions will exhibit and demonstrate their technology, giving participants the opportunity to explore relevant tools and connect directly with the people behind them.

This schedule is subject to modifications. Please check back for the most up-to-date program information.

Day 1 - Meet & Greet (27.05.2026)

An optional pre-event evening at FOMO in Stavanger. Enjoy tapas, welcome drinks and informal networking activities designed to help participants connect before the forum. Includes a guided tour and regional insights from Stavanger Business Region. A relaxed start to meaningful conversations.
Day 2 - Forum Day (28.05.2026)

Day 2 - Forum Day (28.05.2026)

A full day of presentations, panel discussions and conversations focused on the digital field worker. Learn from operators, technology providers and end users. Includes exhibition, networking breaks, lunch, refreshments and a networking dinner, with some entertainment, after the forum. All happening at Maskinhuset, a modern and original venue beautifully located at Sola beach.

Stunning Location

Stavanger is Norway’s oil capital and home to the country’s major operators. Surrounded by fjords, mountains and dramatic coastline, the region combines industrial strength with natural beauty. We recommend staying through the weekend to explore the city, its rich history, and the spectacular landscapes nearby.

 

Where to Stay

We recommend staying at Sola Strand Hotel, a beautiful spa hotel located directly on the beach and just a 10–15 minute walk from Maskinhuset, the main event venue. The hotel is also conveniently close to Stavanger Airport.

Enjoy panoramic views of the North Sea, white sandy beaches and, if you are brave enough, a refreshing swim in the ocean. The hotel offers a renowned spa, excellent dining with a local touch, and a unique atmosphere that combines relaxation with vibrant energy.

We have secured a special rate of approximately USD 200 per night (single room), an excellent price for this location and quality. A limited number of rooms are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. You can book the room directly yourself. If there are no rooms left at this hotel, there are a few other hotels located very close to this.
