Summer Solstice Conferences 2009-2019

Since the first event in Gdansk, in 2009, there were 11 editions of the Summer Solstice Conferences which took place in different countries: Poland, France, Finland, Italy, Slovenia, Canada, Portugal, Germany. The series attracted a strong group of regular participants, including, Franco Bagnoli, Nazim Fatès, Pietro Liò, Andreas Deutsch, Rolf Hoffmann, Raul Rechtman, Danuta Makowiec, Anna Lawniczak, Bruno Di Stefano, to name a few. For the celebrations of the tenth anniversary of the Summer Solstice Conference, the meeting returned to Gdansk in 2018. The restart of the Summer Solstice series happens also in Gdansk after a two years hiatus, with the Seminar organized by Danuta Makowiec on May 28, 2022. Since the inception of the Summer Solstice Danuta and Anna work behind the scene to make sure that the conference would travel through various countries in Europe and would visit Toronto, Canada. They were always making sure that at least one of them would participate in person at the conference and that the next meeting would be planned well ahead of time.
