How to participate
Are you ready for the event? Excited? Looking forward to meeting your polyglot friends face to face yet again? In order to enjoy the event to its fullest potential, we recommend registering as a participant and coming to Teresin for the Gathering with the “ALL IN 1” package option as it provides you with everything necessary to really make the most of the event.
Our aim is to make the Polyglot Gathering 2022 into a “Polyglot Holiday”, where you can effortlessly combine educational activities (talks, workshops, discussions) with the leisure pleasure ones (trips, social activities, concerts, evening programmes, meals etc.). To fully enjoy Polyglot Gathering we highly recommend you participate in the entire event choosing the “ALL IN 1” package providing the best value of all the options and letting you fully enjoy your time with polyglots and other language lovers during the whole event.
In case you cannot, for any reason, take part throughout the entirety of the event, or you plan on staying in another place, we have you covered as well. With the “CUSTOM” package option you can choose and pick the ideal assortment of items, based on your needs (registration fee, dinner,...). Bear in mind, however, that the complete package is of better overall value.
Registration fees
All participants must be registered. It is advised to register in advance. People who are not registered will not have access to the venue.
There are two separate price lists, depending on your participation:
- “ALL IN 1 packages” that include participation in the event, accommodation in a hotel for the whole duration of the event (5 nights or only 4 nights) and all meals;
- CUSTOM: separate price lists for participation, meals and accommodation, for example if you cannot participate in the entire event, you have a place to stay, etc.
See the page Practical information for more information about hotels. It is also possible to commute from Warsaw.
All prices are in euros. To know how much your participation would cost, you can fill in the registration form, it will automatically calculate your participation fee.
