The Fundraiser Is Ongoing!

The conference is funded entirely through donations. The organizers and volunteers contribute their time and effort without remuneration, motivated by gratitude and love for the Dhamma.


The total cost of organizing the event is approximately PLN 1 million. This covers, among other things, the rental of the ICE Kraków Congress Centre, accommodation and transportation for our guests, as well as many other essential expenses involved in preparing an event of this scale.


So far, we have raised around half of the required amount.


Thank you for being part of this journey and supporting the conference.

ALL CONFERENCE PLACES HAVE BEEN FILLED!

We are delighted to announce that all 2,500 seats for the conference have already been taken — 10 months before the event!


If you do not yet have a ticket, please join the waiting list. From experience, we know that as the date approaches, places often become available, and those on the waiting list will be informed first. Soon we will also ask participants to confirm their attendance in order to release any unused reservations.

Thank you, and see you in the Dhamma.
