From what i understand we are submitting something on IIAB. Tim can clarify.
We had discussed having an extra event about offline like we did after Montreal but not sure how much interest there would be.
Since partnering with the Wikipedia store we have shipped about 700 devices. We will bring a few to Wikimania.

Hello everyone
I did not see any reaction to Butch invitation....
Given that I organized discussion sessions for the Offline several times in the last Wikimania, I wanted to clarify that this year, I do not intend to submit such as session. The propositions on EventYay are not public, so I have no idea whether somebody proposed something related to offline, or not. So if you did... maybe it is the right time to mention your submission. If no one submit anything... this is also the right time to jump in IF you want a session related to Offline to take place.
Cheers
Florence

Dear Offline Wiki Collaborators,
Wikimania 2025 is a monumental milestone as we mark 20 years of
Wikimania! This year’s theme, Wikimania at 20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability., resonates deeply with the work of the Wiki offline community. The conference will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, from August 6-9, with a pre-conference on August 5. We invite you to play a pivotal role in shaping this global celebration of knowledge-sharing by submitting a program proposal before the March 31 deadline.
Your expertise in offline technologies is crucial to advancing the
conference theme. To help spark ideas, here are a few topics that may align with the conference theme:
● Innovative strategies for enabling access to Wikimedia projects
offline, fostering inclusivity in underserved areas.
● File format solutions or tools that prioritize sustainability and
accessibility.
● Updates on collaborative efforts to enhance Wikimedia projects for
offline use.
● Project case studies demonstrating measurable impact within offline
communities.
Proposals are welcome in any format: remote presentations, pre-recorded
sessions, or live participation on-site in Nairobi.
Program submission site is at
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program
For inquiries, comments, or assistance with your proposal, please email
wikimania@wikimedia.org. Our team of dedicated volunteers will be happy to guide you.
Additionally, to support you in developing your proposals, the Programme
Subcommittee will host a consultation hour: 📅 Today, Thursday, 20 March 🕐 13:00 UTC (Find your local time at https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742475600) 🌐 Video Call Link: https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/84172058297 💬 Live Interpretation Available in Arabic, French, and Swahili
Let’s collaborate to make Wikimania 2025 an inspiring showcase of
offline innovations. Your work is invaluable in making knowledge accessible to all.
Warm regards,

Hola,
We have submitted two proposals - one relating to Wikipedia on Demand / WP1 (fairly technical), and the other about the offline Wiktionary. Open to submitting a third one regarding offline use cases, could be cool.
Let me know and I'll draft a quick blurb. SCM
