Thon Hotel Skeikampen is located 150 km from Oslo airport and reachable by public transportation (Skeikampen destination). Bring your favourite swimming trunks or ski equipment for use of amenities out of scheduled hours.
Bus-ride takes about 2.5 hours. Please check that you are on the correct bus, and if not, please contact Kine or Marianne.
Bus 211 leaves 4 times a day and takes one hour down to Lillehammer train station (9:40, 11:40, 15:40, and 16:40).
From Lillehammer the trains to Oslo Airport are about once every hour and take about 1 hour and 45 mins.
The intended participants of the AHM are personnel contracted in the larger NeIC operations or projects such as NT1, Glenna, Tryggve, CodeRefinery and Dellingr. If you are engaged in a NeIC project and not sure whether you should participate, please contact your team leader. The program will include a major component of social networking, attempting to mitigate the effects of the completely distributed nature of NeIC and facilitate excellent working relations.
Interested members of project steering groups or reference group and stakeholder fora who want to participate in the discussions, socialize with NeIC and see what work in NeIC is like on the inside are warmly welcome to join the AHM. However, co-locating official meetings in such groups to this event is strongly discouraged, in order not to distract staff away from the prioritized content. On the other hand, network connectivity has proven excellent at this location, so for any sessions that do not directly concern such delegates, time can still very likely be usefully spent doing other productive work.
The focus of the all hands meeting should be on spending social time together with your teammates and therefore we do in general not recommend to bring your family during the meeting. If you want to explore the location with your family you’re welcome to do so, but preferably before or after the AHM. NeIC, however, will not arrange any travel or accommodation for that.
There is no ski school arranged by NeIC. However, as last year: you can certainly book a ski instructor yourself (or in a group):

There might also be ad-hoc ski-groups for people to join too. We will try to facilitate this once at the AHM.
One can rent skis at Skeikampen, and that can be done once you are there. There should be no need to pre-order, although you are of course free to reserve skis if you want! One can use this place: http://www.skeikampen.no/en/alpine-xc-skiing/ski-rental/492-skeikampen-ski-rental or another slightly hidden ski-rental place in the woods, which has very good prices. We will help you find it!

Put your stuff in this Google folder.
Whether it is slides for flash-talks, outcome of speed-blogging, photographs or other things you want to share.
Staff on NeIC contracts will be reimbursed for expenses for travel to/ from Gardermoen. Expenses should be claimed through the staff’s local institution. The local institution will add these expenses to its quarterly invoices to NeIC.
Thanks!
