OFF 2026 Registration FAQs

How do I get a ticket to attend the Oslo Freedom Forum? Do I need to apply to attend?

The 2026 Oslo Freedom Forum offers two pathways for registration:

1. Standard & Patron Passes

Attendees who are interested in the full OFF experience can directly purchase a Standard Pass, a new ticket option that includes access to exclusive side events in addition to the main program, or a Patron Pass, our VIP ticket option. The President’s Circle is a sponsor-level ticket package that includes a bundle of five (5) Patron Passes and optional sponsor recognition.

2. Forum Passes

The Forum Pass is a heavily discounted ticket for attendees who only want to participate in the main programming during the day, which includes keynote talks, panel discussions, workshops, and access to the interactive expo space.

Attendees who wish to purchase a Forum Pass will need to submit an application to register. In your application, we ask that you provide background information about yourself and your motivation for attending the Oslo Freedom Forum. The HRF team will review your application and follow up within 2-3 days. Please note that the Oslo Freedom Forum reserves the right to reject applications or revoke access at any time if an individual or their organization is found to represent a risk or threat to any member of the OFF community.

Can I receive a tax receipt for my Oslo Freedom Forum ticket purchase?

A portion of the Patron Pass is considered a tax-deductible gift to the Human Rights Foundation, a 501c(3) organization. Please reach out to [email protected] to request a tax receipt for your Patron Pass purchase.
