Hi Wikimania organisers,
We're halfway through June - how is the progress with deciding on
submissions?
As a prospective self-funded attendee, I also wonder if the organisers have
advice on the following:
- Estimated registration fees for in-person attendance
- Accommodation - any bulk booking or discount codes for Wikimania
attendees?

Hello everyone,
I’m writing with a general update from the Core Organizing Team
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Organizers>.
Following our meeting this month in Singapore, where we worked on event
strategy, planning and early on-the-ground preparations, we would like to
share a general timeline with you:
-
By now, all scholarship applicants should have received communications
regarding the status of their scholarship application. If you applied but
have not received a message, you can email
wikimania-scholarships(a)wikimedia.org. We encourage those who did not
receive a scholarship to register for and attend the virtual Wikimania.
There also may be some affiliates still offering scholarships, so check
with your local affiliate.
-
Registration for Wikimania will open in June. We will be communicating
it broadly when registration opens so you won’t miss it!
-
The Programming Subcommittee
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program_Subcommittee> is
hard at work selecting sessions and building the program. Program
applicants will hear during the month of June about whether their session
has been selected. We will aim to communicate about this as close to
the start of the month as possible. However, there is a lot of work still
to be done, so please avoid reaching out to inquire about the status of
your application until the end of the month as we are dealing with a large
volume of inquiries at this time.

Most of you have likely seen that the conference will be held at the Suntec
Convention Centre
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suntec_Singapore_Convention_and_Exhibition_Centre>.
Our opening ceremony will be at Suntec, and our closing party at Gardens
by the Bay <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardens_by_the_Bay>. We will
also be offering outings and activities around Singapore on the *15th*
(Tuesday) and *20th* *August* (Sunday) for those interested. More
information on that to come.
-
We have updated the Wikimania Wiki
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Wikimania>(wikimania.org)
to reflect these dates.
For all inquiries and suggestions, kindly write to us at
wikimania(a)wikimedia.org.
Kind regards,
*Butch Bustria*
