The Gathering
The Gathering (abbreviated as "TG" for short) is the second largest computer party in the world. Every Easter, TG attracts more than 5200 (mostly young) people, who socialize and participate in a wide range of entertainment, gaming competitions and competitions in creative computing disciplines. The event is held in Vikingskipet Olympic Arena in Hamar, Norway, and lasts for five consecutive days (starting on the Wednesday in Easter each year). The crew is made up from over 350 volunteers from around the country.
