Thanks for the reminder, Butch! Great to think about this far in advance.
Rounding up local Glam + education + government partners, venue
sponsors/hosts, and financial sponsors is an enjoyable bit of regional
capacity-building if done far enough out. A Wikimania conference is a
beautiful day to honor and invite partners to showcase their work and to
meet one another. (It's also good that WMF is able to provide funding, but
that's no substitute for a good local network)

Dear all,
Wikimania is an extraordinary event: consider hosting it!!
By December 16th express your interest in hosting Wikimania in 2024, 2025
and beyond

You donโt need to have a venue secured or event logistics in place, thatโs
something we will work on together. At this point, we are primarily seeking
your expression of interest. Hosting an international event with the size
and magnitude of Wikimania โ and now with added distributed and hybrid
participation models โ is complicated. With resources from the Foundation
and guidance from the Wikimania Steering Committee, you will also have
access to professional event organizers on the ground that can support this
work. We also plan for an overlap with the current Wikimania 2023
organizing team to build in plenty of time for learning and
collaboration.
Looking forward to discuss with you new locations for our future Wikimanias
Best regards,
Iolanda, on behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee
