Adding 2024 and 2025 conferences
'''Knutepunkt''' is an annual Nordic [[Larp con|role-playing conference on nordic style larp ]] which has been running since the first event in [[Norway]] in [[1997]]. It cycles through each of the nordic Nordic countries as hosts; in [[Sweden]] it's called '''Knutpunkt''', in [[Denmark]] '''Knudepunkt''' and in [[Finland]] '''Solmukohta'''. In English the translation would be ''meeting point'' or ''nodal point''. Though the conference started out strictly as an event for larp (Live action role-playing), and it's 3 founders [[Erlend Eidsem Hansen]], [[Hanne Grasmo]] and [[Margrete Raaum]] all were larp organisers of 360 degrees [[Nordic Style]] larps, Knutepunkt has since embraced role-playing games in a more general fashion. Today the conference still has an emphasis on larp, but programs devoted to educational larping, freeform, blackbox larps, game theory and traditional tabletop role-playing are common.
