Explanation of Benefits
Theater Presentation
Representative(s) from your organization may speak for three minutes on the main stage with an HRF representative to discuss why your organization is supporting HRF’s mission. Presentations typically have a live audience of 500-1,000 and are live-streamed and recorded.
Karl Johan banner publicity
Your organization’s logo may be featured on the OFF banners that are hung along Karl Johans Gate, the main street in Oslo, in the days leading up to and during OFF. These banners are seen by thousands of local Oslo residents and tourists.
Interactive programmatic tracks
Interactive programming at OFF features panel discussions, fireside chats, and workshops, organized into four thematic tracks. These sessions are designed to challenge participants to think more critically about issues presented during the theater talks and to forge partnerships and collaborations.
Reception
Your organization may host a reception or private breakfast on one of the main conference days. Typically, we would organize an invitation-only happy hour social where representatives from your organization could give a short presentation about your work. HRF would collaborate with you to organize logistics and assemble a high-impact and engaging group.
Patron Pass (All-Access)
The Patron Pass (sold at USD $3,000) includes access to all lunches, dinners, and receptions on each day of the conference and access to main stage talks and interactive programming, including the presentation of the Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent.
Interactive Pass (Daytime)
The Interactive Pass (sold at USD $50) includes access to all daytime programming on all three days of the conference, including main stage talks, interactive programming, and the presentation of the Václav Havel International Prize for Creative Dissent.
President’s Reception
The President’s Reception takes place the evening before the first official day of programming (Sunday) and is followed by the Speaker Dinner. It is an intimate gathering designed to connect your organization’s representative(s) with HRF’s other major supporters and stakeholders.
Speaker Dinner
The Speaker Dinner takes place the evening before the first official day of programming (Sunday). Given its very limited capacity, the Speaker Dinner is a unique opportunity for a sponsor’s representative(s) to connect with keynote speakers in an intimate setting.
About the Oslo Freedom Forum
OFF is a transformative international conference series run by HRF bringing dissidents, activists, and journalists together with technologists, philanthropists, and academics to help make the world more peaceful, prosperous, and free.
Described by The Economist as the “Davos for human rights” and by The New York Times as an opportunity for “the world’s dissidents to have their say,” OFF is a place where industry leaders and activists come together to create new partnerships and collaborations.
OFF in NY is a one-day event where our New York-based community convenes to listen to theater talks by renowned human rights advocates and learn about the global struggle for democracy. The theater program is followed by a Gala Dinner, which includes live performances, talks, and time for networking.
