Welcome to SMWCon Fall 2019 in Paris from September 25th to 27th 2019!

In the name of our host UIC, the worldwide railway organization [0], our general chair Airy Magnien and our local host Clément Flipo, I would like to set the stage for our upcoming conference with a syllogism:

1. We believe that Semantic MediaWiki is a premier knowledge collaboration system. 2. It is a fact that successful systems are used voluntarily. Because the marginal utility they endow far outweighs the marginal cost of adapting to them. 3. It is therefore our chief concern to facilitate a smooth, intuitive and pleasant use, operation and setup of Semantic MediaWiki.

== Registration is now open! == For general information including dates, location, registration, accommodation and travel information please go to the official conference page. [1]

Thank you and we are looking forward to welcoming you in Paris!

Regards,

Lex Sulzer Program chair
