Samirk’s economic platform

It is Samvirk’s responsibility to ensure that all members attending the conferences have a place to stay. This is possible because Samvirk has purchased all accommodation capacity on Oslofjord during BCC’s periods of use. The costs for this are covered by all those who attend the conferences. By purchasing accommodation through Samvirk, we contribute to Oslofjord’s financial foundation for ownership, operation, maintenance and development of the property.

Since Samvirk is has to pay a significant amount for the accommodation, it is important for Samvirk that everyone who attends the conferences also pays for the accommodation. Accommodation is purchased via long-term hotel agreements, with some exceptions whereby accommodation can be purchased year by year.

What are my obligations?

When you become a member, you give loyal support to Samvirk’s financial platform. As a co-owner, you cannot undermine this by subletting or lending your hotel agreement, or by staying overnight with others without having a booking via Samvirk. Samvirk has therefore regulated who can be an overnight guest in other members’ suites or accommodation units.

You can add the following overnight guests to a suite or accommodation unit:

Your spouse (if they are a member of Samvirk)

Children up to and including the year they turn 18

Young people aged 18-26 who participate in the Samvirk UNG program

Single people over the age of 26 who have purchased a hotel agreement of 3750 points or accommodation for at least half of all conference days they attend

Married couples who have purchased a hotel agreement for 7500 points or accommodation at all conferences they attend

Especially for spouses

Upon entering into membership, Samvirk is given the right to share information to spouses about membership, products and agreements with Samvirk. The spouse will also be able to manage the agreements and matters related to payment or non-payment. In addition, the spouse will be able to enter, change and cancel reservations and purchase of additional products. If one of the spouses has a savings account in Samvirk, the other spouse is given the right to dispose of funds held by the spouse.
