Registrations :: from 20 January 2025
The actual date may be later, to be announced. Every year, we need to make sure everything is up and running in the background before we can start selling tickets.
As a general rule, the earlier you buy your ticket, the less you’ll pay. We need to cover several large expenses in January.
Online prequel :: 8-10 April 2025
We’ll pobably have an online prequel in April, with some sessions and workshops, as well as some networking sessions where you can get to know your fellow attendees in advance.

How to reach the hotel
From Kraków airport:
There’s a direct train from the airport to the hotel’s neighbourhood, running every 30 minutes. Take regional train SKA1 (ending in Wieliczka of saltmine fame), but you need to get off at Zabłocie station, then walk 6 minutes to the hotel.
From the main train/bus station:
Take regional train SKA1, SKA2 or SKA3 to Zabłocie station, then walk 6 minutes to the hotel.
Alternatively, take tram 3 from near the train station (runs every 8 minutes), and get off at ‘Plac bohaterów getta’, then walk 4 minutes to the hotel.
From the Old Town / elsewhere in Kraków:
The tram stop near the hotel (‘Plac bohaterów getta’) is served by 6 lines: 1, 3, 5, 17, 24, 69. From Rynek (‘main market square’), walk to the ‘Poczta Główna’ stop (‘main post office’), and take tram 1, 3, 5, 24, 69.
Practically all of these tram lines originate from one of the suburbs, go past the old town ring, then head south to cross the river. You need to get off right after the bridge to reach the conference venue.
Other places to stay
Aparthotel Adler (2 minutes away)
This 3-star hotel is 200 meters away from the conference venue, offering rooms at a more afforable rate.
Their website is under redesign, and it’s currently not really user-friendly, but they do operate.
They offer discounts on stays of at least 3 nights.
Write to them directly, or fill in the booking form under ‘Request footer’.
Kraków B&B (7 minutes away)
This small hotel has a dozen or so rooms, perfect for couples or 3 people staying together. Each room comes with a kitchenette. You can have breakfast at a bakery on the ground floor.
Room rates are the lowest in this part of town.
Book directly on their website.
Lwowska 1 Aparthotel (5 minutes away)
This 4-star hotel is right at the tram stop, i.e. 4-5 minutes on foot to the conference hotel. Room rates here are 10-20% lower than at Qubus.
Their website is informative and easy to navigate.
Pro tip: you may be eligible to a 10% discount if you sign up to their newsletter before booking your room. (Open the website, then attempt to leave it — you’ll see a popup where they prompt to sign up to get a discount.)
Elsewhere in town
Kraków has plenty of hotels and apartments of all shapes and sizes. Obviously, the ones in the old town cost significantly more.
The conference hotel is served by 6 tram lines, 5 of which pass through a section of the old town ring, then continue to other neighbourhoods.
A good idea to secure cheaper rates than on booking sites is finding hotels/apartments on Google Maps, then contacting them directly through their websites.
