About KON_gres

KON_gres is an annual gathering of polish organizers of fan-run events—conventions, festivals, club meetings, outdoor LARPs, and so on. Each year it takes place in a different city under the care of a different organization, and every edition has a guiding theme that receives a bit more attention in the program than in previous or following years. Modeled on English-language SMOFcons, KON_gres aims to help active fans share knowledge and experiences, build connections, and expand their skills. It has been doing so successfully since 2017. 

The upcoming 10th edition will take place between 7 and 8 March 2026 in Katowice, Silesia.

Currently, we are not planning an English-language programme track. However, if you are interested in the overall concept—why we decided to launch this initiative, how it supports Polish conrunners in their efforts to keep SFF events in Poland growing—or if you would like to contribute in any way to help improve our event, we would be happy to connect with you.
