Conference location and organisational details

The 2025 ISHS Conference will be held in a spectacular location, a castle overlooking the Vistula river and the mountainous landscape, adjoining the largest wooded area of Kraków, ideal for early morning summer walks, about 5 km away from the historic center of the thousand-year-old former capital of Poland. The Conference will take place over five days (Monday, July 7th through Friday, July 11th) with morning plenary sessions followed by breakout sessions. The first day will feature a number of pre-conference seminars for graduate students delivered by experts in different fields of humor research, as well as Philosophy of Humor panels. The Conference will include an opening reception, coffee breaks, the Conference dinner and comedy night.
