The Symposium for 2025 will be from May 28th to June 1st, 2025 in Krzemionki Poland. This famous mine site has a wonderful museum that will host the 2025 Symposium. The programme will include a visit of the mines and sampling of local flints like the chocolate flint of southern Poland. Registration for the symposium will be open soon. If you want to join, please contact us: flintsymposium@gmail.com .
The Symposium is always a unique event for the region. The Symposium 2024 had coverage from multiple newspapers. The press coverage can be found here.
Most of our participants are involved in the creation of prehistoric implements. And the Symposium only concentrates on flint, but we occasionally put the tools we make to the test. One of our areas of interest is prehistoric woodworking. If you're curious to see how stone and bone implements fare against oak, check out our friends over at Ergersheimer-Experimente.de
Please also check out our friends from the European Stoneage Gathering. They organize the biggest European meeting of Stoneage enthusiasts. They connect people with a wide skill set from cooking to tanning .

As you can see, we finally have a website. It is still under construction and will continue to expand. We are working on a page dedicated to documenting the history of the symposium, including detailed information and videos from past events. This section is still a work in progress and will be updated regularly.
We are also in the process of updating the contacts for all participants. Please note that detailed information and communications regarding the symposium will still be sent via email. We appreciate your patience as we work on enhancing the website and ensuring smooth communication with all attendees.
