Hangout No. 42: Summer Jam Warmup Open Air

An Open-Air Gathering For Krakow’s Innovation Community @ Krakusa 11

Summer in Krakow is short, which is exactly why it deserves to be enjoyed.

For our next Hangout, we’re stepping outside and gathering in one of the city’s hidden corners. Tucked into a pocket of Podgórze, Krakusa 11 is a former industrial space transformed into a modern workplace and home to Krakow startup LiveKid. The Krakusa 11 team has recently opened a spacious new garden and invited the OMGKRK community to come and check it out. Naturally, we couldn’t resist.

Expect a relaxed summer evening under the open sky, with music drifting from the speakers, cold drinks, and good company. No conference agenda, no rush, just an opportunity for founders, operators, creatives, investors, and ecosystem builders to hang out and reconnect.

On the agenda:

• A conversation with LiveKid CEO Jakub Pawelski on how one of Poland’s leading startups has scaled internationally through strategic acquisitions—and why it continues to believe in an office-first culture in an increasingly remote world.

• A first preview of Summer Jam 2026: SIGNAL, our flagship gathering exploring how individual connections create a stronger ecosystem signal.

Join us for an evening of conversations, connections, and vibes ahead of Summer Jam 2026.

Who Is This Hangout For?

• Founders interested growing their teams
• Ecosystem leaders and community builders
• Business professionals helping startups
• Creative teams, designers, marketeers & freelancers

Krakusa 11: Where Work Meets Community

Set within a beautifully revitalized post-industrial building, Krakusa 11 offers a more human alternative to large office complexes. Designed for freelancers, founders, and creative professionals, it combines focused work with a strong sense of community.

For this Hangout, the Krakusa 11 team is welcoming us into their newly refreshed garden, creating the perfect setting for summer conversations, new connections, and a relaxed evening outdoors. For members of the Krakusa 11 community, the garden is more than an event space — it’s an extension of the workplace and one of the perks of being part of the community, offering the chance to work, meet, and recharge outdoors.
