A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'but'. The sentence contrasts a long-standing tradition (trade show always in Oslo) with a new decision (this year in Stockholm). 'But' correctly shows this contrast. 'Nor' is used with negative constructions, 'during' is a preposition, and 'when' creates a dependent clause - none create the needed contrast.
