After further, final negotiations with Arche management, we have some very good news for you!
The difficulties we had so far in setting a date were mainly due to the fact that we wanted to keep the current location (party place), which works great and is enthusiastically rated by Silly Venture participants. Unfortunately, during the holiday season, the availability of free dates is very limited. Since early October 2025 (just a few weeks before SV2025WE), we attempted to book a date in June 2026, then considered May and August. Despite repeated attempts, all of these proposals were rejected. For this reason, we did not announce the SV2026SE date during the last winter edition, nor did we advertise SV2026SE on the stream, which would have been the natural thing to do (as we did previously, when we knew the date and advertised the summer edition during the winter edition). Ultimately, we were offered only two dates – both in July, one of which coincided with Sommarhack.
In this situation, we again asked Arche to consider renegotiating the date of Silly Venture 2026SE, similar to this year's event last summer. After demanding but constructive discussions (unfortunately also involving an increase in rental costs), we managed to “regain” the date at the turn of July and August – almost identical to the last summer edition.
The new date eliminates the problem of collision with the thematically related event, Sommarhack (and overlapping live coverage on the stream).
Therefore, we are happy to announce that the final date for SV2026SE is:
July 30 – August 2, 2026.
