History

Stavanger Forum was established in 1999 and is owned by the City of Stavanger and Rogaland County Council. Our history dates back to 1960 when Rogaland Messen AS was established.
Rogaland Messen AS was established in 1960 and served as the city's exhibition and congress organiser. Owners of Rogaland Messen included the Stavanger Municipality (30 %) as well as various local companies, each with small holdings. Among these were Tou Brewery and Felleskjøpet.
The "Stavanger Foundation" was established in 1981 as a joint marketing and operational organisation for activities in fairs, conventions and tourism in Stavanger.
In 1992 the Foundation's structure changed so that the municipality of Stavanger and Stavanger's Industry Association (the merger of the Trade, Craft and Industry associations) were now the founders.
