When: 12.04.06 - 16.04.06 (the doors open 09:00)
Where: The Vikingskipet Olympic Arena, Hamar, Norway
What: The Gathering is the second largest computerparty in the world.
Last year, 5500 visitors attended the annual event which takes place at Vikingskipet Olympic Arena in Hamar, Norway,
and lasts for five consecutive days.
Why: The Gathering (or "TG" for short) as been arranged since 1992 and has always been a hub
for young creative people to battle it out in many types of competitions;
demo-coding, music, graphics, animation, game and hardware-modification, to name a few.
Every year, young and old computer enthusiasts gather to share experiences, meet new friends and have a great time at one of the most unique events of our time - The Gathering.
The Gathering is a non-profit event, arranged largely with the help of over two hundred volunteers.
Some of the visitors are "hard-core mod'ers" and you might happen to meet some of your favourite Futurama figures, hanging out with Tux:
(they are fully functional computers) and also a team from Discovery Channel that will be making a special during the event.
