Today the conference still has an emphasis on larp, but programs devoted to traditional tabletop role-playing as well as newer arrivals such as freeform are common.
The scope of the Knutepunkt conference has expanded rather rapidly over the last few years with participants showing up from numerous non-Scandinavian countries.
The name of the convention refers to the point where two pieces of rope or string joins in a knot, and varies with the organizing country.
The organising country changes each year in this order: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
In 2011 the Knutepunkt conference was documented in a number of videos now published on the Knudepunkt 2011 Vimeo Channel.
