For more travel options and live updates, check ruter.no Please leave a little extra time, as buses may be busier than usual. We’ll share updates if the situation changes.

✈️ From Oslo Airport (OSL) Flytoget currently expects to operate as normal during the initial strike action. As a bus alternative, take Flybussen Connect FB1 to Olavsgaard, then change to Ruter bus 340 or 380 towards Lillestrøm bussterminal.

🚌 From Oslo Bussterminal Take direct bus 100 (towards Kjeller), 110 or 380 to Lillestrøm bussterminal. From there, NOVA Spektrum is an 8-minute walk away.

100

⚠️ Possible train strike from Wednesday morning A train strike may begin at 06:00 on Wed, 2 Sept if mediation doesn't lead to an agreement. It is not yet known exactly which departures to and from Lillestrøm could be affected, so check your journey before leaving and allow some extra travel time.

We deliberately kept the number limited to avoid unnecessary production. If you get one, use it, reuse it and take it on plenty of adventures - above and under the sea. 🌊 A collaboration we’re genuinely proud of!

Production happens at Bokhari’s weaving mill in Pakistan, where most craftspeople are women. Right next door is the LAMS school, helping provide education for employees’ children. The bags are made from 100% recycled material.

100

For their production, we teamed up with Bokhari - a Norwegian social enterprise combining Scandinavian design with Pakistani craftsmanship and creating safe, decent jobs for more than 450 women and men. 💙

🌊 A tote bag with a story. This year, we’ve made a limited number of reusable JavaZone tote bags - ready to carry laptops, stickers, snacks and questionable amounts of conference coffee. ☕️

Heading to JavaZone? You can make a difference too. 💧 Bring your reusable cup and water bottle, and help us reduce single-use waste. A small choice on land can make a big difference under the sea - one cup, one bottle, one drop at a time. 🌊 5/5

Lymphoedema causes swelling when lymph fluid builds up in the body’s tissues. Lipoedema involves an abnormal build-up of fat that can cause pain and affect everyday life. Neither condition currently has a cure. 4/5

We’re also donating to the Norwegian Lymphoedema and Lipoedema Association (NLLF) (www.nllf.no/), which supports people affected by these chronic conditions, spreads knowledge and works to improve understanding and care. 3/5

As part of this year’s speaker gift, we’re making a donation to Miljøstiftelsen Elv og Hav (elvoghav.no/) - an organisation working to protect our rivers, oceans and the life they sustain. 🌊🐠 2/5

🌊 This year, JavaZone is going Under the Sea! The theme is playful, but the message is real: what we do on land affects our rivers, oceans and everything that depends on them. There’s plenty of life under the sea. Let’s keep it that way. 🐙🐋 1/5
