Summer is over. The inbox is full. And the meeting invitations for room B22 are already ticking in. It doesn't have to be this way.
Back-to-work season is actually the best time of year to gather the team – not to tick off an agenda, but to properly land after the summer. Find a common direction. Start the fall with something that actually sticks. That kind of day requires more than a conference room at the nearest hotel.
Vilma Sjøbad is located on Filtvet – only 50 minutes from Oslo , but a completely different place to think, plan and get things done that actually matter.

Party rooms that elevate the space – not lower it
Let's face it: most conferences take place in a room that could just as easily be a dentist's office. Fluorescent lights, dry biscuits, a projector that almost works.
We don't have that. There are bright surfaces, large windows facing the fjord and an atmosphere that is professional without being sterile. The autumn light over the Oslofjord is something all its own – the soft, golden light that hits the water in the afternoon does something to the room, and to the people in it.
You will receive, among other things:
✓ Flexible rooms with modern technology
✓ Good zones for group work, breakout sessions and breaks
✓ Flow between seating, mingling areas and outdoor areas
✓ Food and drinks that actually keep your energy up.

The fjord as an activity space
Autumn is actually the best season for RIB The air is fresh, the fjord is calm and there are no tourist queues. A trip out on the Oslofjord with the whole team is the kind of break that resets your mind in five minutes – and gives you something to talk about for the rest of the day.
For those who prefer to stay indoors: Chef's Table brings the team together around the kitchen for an evening of cooking, tasting and laughter. No competition, no pressure. Just good food and good people – and the relaxed atmosphere where the best ideas often emerge.
We help you create a day where both your mind and body get what they need, so that you go home with more than just a report.

Near Oslo , far from the office noise – and just far enough to be
Filtvet is only 50 minutes away Oslo . Close enough that the threshold for leaving is low. Far enough away that the pace actually changes. It's that small gesture that makes all the difference: when people can't run back to their desks, they're actually present. The phone is hung up. The conversation takes over.
One of the best things that can happen to a corporate conference is that it doesn't stop when the agenda is finished. People keep talking. Ideas mature. Relationships are built – and it's often in the informal hour after dinner that the most important things happen. Our boutique A hotel with 22 unique rooms opens up for just that. The conversations, ideas and community can last into the evening – and continue over breakfast the next morning, while the sun hits the fjord and no one has anywhere else to go.

An autumn conference that is actually remembered
Back-to-work is about bringing people together – not just physically, but mentally. About taking a break from what has been and setting the course for what is to come. It requires more than a room with a screen. It requires a place that does something about the atmosphere. Vilma Sjøbad is that the place.
