But this year we decided to make something bigger and after asking some users by PMs and after asking CT staff we decided what follows:
How long? We want to organize (and we will organize) 7 day convention - yes you read it right, convention will be held for whole week. But we (as organizers) agreed with Yves that many of you can have problems with so long convention and this is why first three days would be fully international Click Convention (this traditional one) and next 4 days will be mostly Polish convention. But if anyone outside from Poland would like to stay - no problem! Even it could be 7 days international convention, all depends from you.
When? We suggest one of the last weeks of July 20-27. But this is thing which we have to discuss. We are considering only weeks during holidays. So if you have got other proposals about July or September post it and we will decide about final date of Convention in first days of May.
Costs?
Because we are mostly students, we decided again to held Convention in Hostel (which lowers the costs and conditions are pretty good):
- Sleeping: 140 zloty for whole week (6 nights) is like follows 40 zloty for first night each next one 20 zloty. So like for now sleeping for whole week would cost 34 EUR, 44 USD, 30 GBP.
- Food: We think that about 10 zloty for each day would be enough. So for whole week it would be half of sleeping costs.
- Travel: It depends from you. This Hostel is placed near Railway Station and Airport so each way would be good.
- Other costs: About 5 + 25 zloty. 5 zloty (about 1,22 EUR, 1,60 USD, 1,07 GBP) as a entrance fee for everyone. It's not huge ammount of money but it would help us to cover costs of prizes for competitions etc. And thanks to it everyone who will pay it can enter each competition and won some souvenir. And that 25 zloty (about 6,10 EUR, 8 USD, 5,35 GBP) is initial price for t-shirt if anyone would like one.
So what's the difference?
We Poles are known from our creativity and hospitality. Like for now our programme schedule covers:
- Interesting presentations of upcoming Polish games
- Presenting true capabilities of old Klik Open GL
- Results of voting for best Polish Click games
- Each day (from 2nd to 6th) will be held one competition in different click games like Duel Toys 2, Sommium Strike 2, Siege or War of Fantasy and two Polish titles with souvenirs as a prizes
- One day trip (3rd day) to visit Warsaw and it's famous places and buildings
Also there would be some night competitions for game makers (last time we have got one to create a platformer). So it would be interesting events.
We are open for any propositions for your presentations of games, extensions, community projects. Anything like that.
We want to decide about term of event until end of April and depending of Convention date we will wait for official confirmation of coming until end of May/June. Because we have to get known about how many people will come to make reservation at hostel. And if anyone like he could stay in hotel or anything like that but costs will be much higher and he will end the 'night life' of this convention.
So if you have got any propositions, suggestions, questions post them here or via Private Message and we will surely respond for them.
Bugger, I'll be at our place there throughout the whole of July but it's nearer to Krakow than Warsaw... Way down in Gorlice. Still might try. Though my Polish isn't what it used to be.
Sounds good, but i wont be able to make it, airplane tickets are expensive, cant take much time of from work, and with the family all traveling to europe is just to much of an undertaking. Now if anyone can finally setup a convention in the US or Canada that would be a different story, for the love of everything why should the folks in europe get all the fun!

We had in Cracow in 2008 But if you prefer any other date write it down James. And Convention will be in English (at last first three days ;P) But Polish will be present also.
The dates fine, it'll just be getting there.
That said I find travelling long distances in Poland really easy. I'll definitely try! Now to talk to my dziadek and get learning again
Shame about last year too. What date was that? I think I was in Gorlice around July 10-20th or something.
Chrilley you have got few months to get cash so you can check +- what are costs of travel (because more or less costs of staying are published) and put aside some money for it.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
I might have the cash by then, but there still is the problem of me going to Poland alone... ( Im still a minor in the US)
My parents wouldn't be excited...
