1 COMPETITION GUIDE

2 12-14 April 2012 Randaberg, Norway Located on the coastline of Southern Norway, Randaberg/Stavanger is surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery and attractions Norway has to offer. With a population of residents, The Randaberg/Stavanger region is the third largest populated area in Norway. The city is the energy capital of Norway with several multinational energy companies present, and is therefore affluent with a strong international orientation. Stavanger has however managed to preserve its local identity, with a vibrant cultural scene and nightlife, concerts and events. Most nights the waterfront is buzzing with life, and it is therefore also a central meeting place for our international guests. The landscape of the Stavanger region is an adventure in itself. By the North Sea coast you find 70 km of white, sandy beaches. Further inland, the landscape rises somewhat, and gently rolling hills give way to extreme mountains and the majestic Norwegian Fjords, rated as the best travel destination in the world by National Geographic Magazine.
