The concepts and booths

Kongsberg Agenda uses the term "concept" as the cornerstone in the organization, theming, and visualization of the festival. The focus on technology should permeate all activities during Kongsberg Agenda. Kongsberg Agenda is responsible for the concept stages.

In 2025, it will be possible to have a booth at the outdoor technology exhibition TeXpo and Political Agenda.

On November 15, we will open applications for spots on the concept stages and booths at TeXpo and Political Agenda.

• TeXpo - Technology exhibition
• Agenda Parken
• Agenda Vekst
• Political Agenda
• Agenda Competence
• Agenda Youth
• Agenda ConstruTech
• DeepTech Agenda
