The Polyglot Gathering is an informal event which takes places once a year and brings together polyglots (people who speak several languages) and language enthusiasts from all over the world. It is a five-day event with lectures, workshops and social activities for everyone who loves and enjoys languages.

There's no requirement of speaking many languages. All that counts is your approach to them: if you love learning languages and you want to meet like-minded people who also love languages, the Polyglot Gathering is the right place for you!

The Polyglot Gathering 2018 will take place under the auspices of:

• Martina Lubyová, Minister of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic;
• Ivo Nesrovnal, mayor of Bratislava;
• Ferdinand Daňo, rector of the University of Economics in Bratislava;
• Juraj Droba, chairman of the Bratislava self-governing region.

What do people do at a Polyglot Gathering?

• attend lectures with practical language learning tips and many interesting topics related to languages (mostly in English but also in other languages) and even propose their own
• share their own tips, ideas and insights in Lightning talks (spontaneous short talks)
• visit practical workshops about less known languages and other language-learning skills
• talk to other people in whatever language they share (everyone has a nametag with all the languages they wish to speak)
• hang out in comfy get-together areas in between the talks (including a No-English zone, a Board Game zone, Coffee-break zone (with free coffee!) or Sponsors zone
• enjoy multilingual concerts, take an active part in a cultural evening
• visit the city and surroundings, spend time in local bookstores and taste the regional cuisine in pubs and restaurants
• share old language books and fresh food/beverage snacks from their country
