The well known and loved conference venue

We already know the location of the conference and it will be held in the same location as CONFidence 9. This year we plan to dive into even more underground style. The vast space, brick fort-like buildings, overhead cranes, the old locomotive and other installations create a unique atmosphere ideal for CONFidence conference.

Buildings of historic water pumping station in Bielany belonging to the Cracow water service is a place which fits perfectly into the atmosphere of CONFidence, where in addition to technical lectures will prepare lots of attractions such as games, competitions and BBQ.
