Thank you for informing us about your congress or international conference! Oulu Convention Bureau keeps statistics and maintains communication on international meetings and conferences taking place in Oulu. If an event meets the criteria of an international conference, we will communicate them further to the Finland Convention Bureau for statistics. If you wish, you may register your conference with us just for statistical purposes.
Let us know about your congress or international conference
Criteria for international congresses:
- at least 10 participants
- participants from at least 2 countries in addition to Finland
- at least 20% of participants from outside Finland
- duration at least 1 day (minimum of 4 hours)
- the organizer must be an international organization or its Finnish member organization, a non-governmental organization, a university, a university department or research group, a university of applied sciences, a research institute, a ministry, or another comparable non-profit organization
Conferences from the previous year must be reported to us by 31 January in order to be considered in the annual conference statistics. The annual statistics are published every year in March or April. The conference statistics yield useful information for developing Oulu as a conference city. Informing OCB about your congress will get you visibility through our channels. Remember to add your event in the Oulu Events calendar.
