The conference first took place in 1978 in Czechoslovakia. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, it first remained in the Czech Republic, until it was transferred in 2010 to Slovakia, where it is currently being organized by the nonprofit organization E@I. Latest KAEST took place in Modra, Slovakia, from the 15th to 18 November 2012. It included a Wikipedia workshop aimed at both beginners and advanced users, organized in cooperation with Wikimedia Slovakia.
