Guests

Every year, interesting figures from the world of culture are invited to Copernicon. This year one of the special guests will be Bartosz Sztybor – director of comic book narration and animation at CD PROJEKT RED, as well as author of scripts for comic books, series, films. He has written a number of comics in “The Witcher” and “Cyberpunk 2077” series, as well as produced and created the script for the anime “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.”
The event will also not take place without Renata Kuryłowicz, an author who specializes in the topic of necrophilia and cannibalism. Renata Kuryłowicz is a long-time book publisher and editor, author of the “true crime” blog and podcast “Zbrodnie bez cenzury.” She is the creator of Poland’s first burlesque house and the amazing cocktail concept that is Worek Kości in Warsaw, where she also organizes lectures on forensics and criminology.
Also appearing at the festival will be Tomasz Samojlik – being a PhD in biological sciences, he writes and draws books and comics, in which he tries to combine fantastic plots with a dose of natural science knowledge, thus translating specialized scientific knowledge into language understandable to younger audiences.

During the convention, a Gamesroom will be available 24 hours/day. During the day, but also at night, it will be possible to play board games or rent them.

The event is organized by the “Thorn” Association of Game and Fantasy Lovers.
