Within easy reach from the UK, Stavanger offers endless possibilities for unusual and exciting conference and team building experiences. To make the stay wholly enjoyable, without the hassle of organising, event organisers Scan One specialise in helping companies plan and execute their events and conferences from start to finish.

Since 1997, when Sigrid-Helene Risa founded her events company Scan One, she has devoted her professional life to creating excellent experiences for clients who choose to have their conferences and corporate events in the Stavanger area. “We organise around 100 conferences, meetings and events every year for a range of different companies,” Risa says. With seven event organisers on board, Scan One takes care of every aspect of the event so that their clients can relax and concentrate on their guests or employees and the purpose of the event.

More than events
Scan One has always wanted to offer more to their clients than events management. “Since we started up in 1997 we have helped companies and organisations with creative input, quality assurance and the expert facilitation of events such as conferences; themed, specialist and reward excursions; team-building; client and kick-off events,” Risa explains. Their offer includes many additional services. Risa describes Scan One as “a professional planner, developer and facilitator of social and skill building events.” Scan One have teamed up with company CTS-Setting to “offer specialist expertise in corporate development and performance training.” This adds extra spice to events, as Scan One’s clients have the choice to work with professionals to perfect, for example, their presentation techniques or to learn about performance goal achievement or trends, amongst other things, during the events.

A city of contrasts
“Stavanger is a city of contrasts: City-nature, industry-farming, old-new,” Risa says. “It is a very intimate city with high focus on quality, and there are exciting activities both outdoors and indoors within easy reach.” Risa and her team draw on the city’s strengths to create innovative and memorable events. “Nature, energy, food and culture are always special elements in every event,” she concludes.
