Knutepunkt
Knutepunkt (“meeting point”) is an annual conference for Nordic larp as well as other forms of role-playing. It cycles through each of the Nordic countries and gets a slightly different name each year. (Knutepunkt in Norway, Knudepunkt in Denmark, Knutpunkt in Sweden, and Solmukohta in Finland) There is an emphasis on theory relative to the other Nordic conventions. In many ways it is the center of Nordic larp culture.

Intercon conventions are organized by independent organizations such as New England Interactive Literature.
