Hello,
I think this event will have more attendees than any Wikimania.
Previous WikiConferences in India have had ~2000 attendees.
It says "biggest in South Asia", but I think it is biggest anywhere.
yours,

"As compared to the last WikiConference India, this conference has more thematic focus, especially on challenges like the gender bias on Wikipedia, and emerging projects like the Wikipedia Education Program." ________________________________
Note that the Indian women's program was a particular object of ridicule by the anti=gender gap editors...
