Hi everyone,
On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee, the stewards of our movement’s biggest
event, we are welcoming expressions of interest from community groups to host Wikimania in
2024 and beyond [1].
The last time we were able to convene in person was in Stockholm in 2019. After two years
of virtual gatherings, we are excited to come together again in person in Singapore in
August 2023 (exact dates to be confirmed very soon) [2]. We want to make sure there is
plenty of overlap between the current organizing team and future ones. That is why we are
now accepting expressions of interest for 2024, 2025 and beyond. We hope to announce the
next host by April 2023.
Interested community groups do not need to have a polished proposal. This is an
expression of interest that we will develop further together. We will be taking multiple
factors into consideration, such as the cost and location of the venue, visa requirements,
accessibility, health infrastructure, internet connectivity, and security. If a regional
collaboration is interested in hosting Wikimania, we will consider multiple cities in your
expression of interest. We love to take the Wikimania magic around the world with a
lasting legacy of people and projects. As such, we will also consider the rotation of
previous Wikimania host cities hoping to take Wikimania to new places or those we haven’t
been to in a while.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or comments.
Submissions are accepted until December 16, 2022. You can read more on Diff [3].
Best regards,
Iolanda on behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee and Wikimedia Foundation team
