Schedule
Like the last workshops, OSW 2024 will again consist of a series of pre-submitted and reviewed sessions and an unconference (barcamp-style) part to facilitate less formal exchange regarding ongoing work in the various standardization groups.

A separate registration is required.

Thursday: Guided Walking Tour of Reykjavik; afterwards: Dinner at Kol Restaurant

Venue and Travel
The OAuth Security Workshop will take place at the Harpa concert hall and conference center in downtown Reykjavik.
Keflavik Airport is Iceland's only international airport.
The easiest way to travel from Keflavik to Reykjavik is by Flybus. Taking a Taxi is very expensive and therefore not advised.
Accommodation
We have reserved room blocks in the following hotels with special rates available from Feb. 25 to Mar. 2 (use the links to access special rates):
Visiting Iceland
If you plan to rent a car, make sure to check the road conditions at safetravel.is and make yourself familiar with the challenges of winter driving in Iceland.
🌋 Will the volcanic activity affect my travel?
You may have heard about the ongoing eruptions of the Fagradalsfjall volcano near Grindavík. This volcanic activity has been recurring since 2021, with eruptions occurring every few months and lasting from a week to several weeks. The volcano is located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, approximately 10 kilometers from Keflavík International Airport and about 30 kilometers from Reykjavík.
While the flowing lava and tectonic activity have caused significant damage in the town of Grindavík and posed threats to the Blue Lagoon and the nearby power plant, the risk to travel between Reykjavík and the airport remains low. The airport has remained operational, as the volcano produces minimal ash, and the road connecting Reykjavík to the airport has not been affected. Reykjavik is not in any danger from this eruption.
Even if a new eruption of this volcano occurs before OSW, we do not expect any changes to this situation. If conditions are safe and favorable, we may organize a group excursion to view an eruption, should one be active during OSW.
