Exhibitions
Norway Trade Fairs hosts both trade and open shows. About half of these exhibitions are staged for its own account, with the rest organised by external bodies. Among the largest events in the programme are Reiseliv (the Norway International Tourism and Travel Trade Fair), Jobb & Utdanning (the Norwegian International Careers & Education Exhibition), Gave & Interiør (the Gift & Interior Exhibition), Nor-Shipping, the Sjøen for Alle boat show and Bygg Reis Deg (the Nordic Building Exhibition).

A number of these shows have experienced an expansion in exhibitors and visitors since the move to Lillestrøm
