'''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 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 larporganisers 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, gametheory game theory and traditional tabletop role-playing are common.
