Hello everyone,
(apologies for the cross-posting)
I’m excited to share more details about the GLAM Wiki Conference Program—and to remind you to register before in-person registration closes in just a few days!
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_Wiki_2025/Program/Program
Over three days (October 30 – November 1), we’ll have:
More than 30 lightning talks
Two dozen workshops, trainings, and roundtables
A full-day GLAM Hackathon
A Portuguese-language workshop for institutions new to Wiki
A Global GLAM Strategy day
Sessions on decolonization, heritage at risk, gender in GLAM, technical infrastructure, digitization methods, and much more.
And beyond the sessions, there’s plenty of culture to enjoy:
18+ tours of Lisbon’s cultural institutions
20 film screenings
A concert
Screen printing activities
For those joining remotely, the auditorium sessions will be streamed via Zoom webinar (registration for online participation is also open). There will also be a dedicated space @ GLAM Wiki to watch WikiDataCon (October 31 – November 2).
Don’t miss out—in-person registration closes very soon!

Hello everyone,
This is a notification that the deadline for the Fall 2025 MediaWiki Users & Developers Conference<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> CfP is extended until September 15th. The conference will be held on October 28–30th, and hosted by the TIB Leibniz Centre in Hanover, Germany. A lot of exciting proposals<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> are already coming in, but we want to give a chance to more presenters who may have found our original deadline too tight after the summer break to take part. A preliminary conference programme will be released in mid-September and the final programme will be available by Sept. 28th.
The CfP remains open to presentation and tutorial proposals on any topic related to MediaWiki usage, deployment or development, including the MediaWiki extension ecosystem (Wikibase, Semantic MediaWiki, etc). To propose a tutorial or any other form of contribution talk for this conference, just fill out this form<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Talk?Talk%5BConfer…>.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, to meet and discuss MediaWiki-related topics relating to both the Wikimedia world and uses within companies, organizations, etc.
Special thanks also to the sponsors<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> of this event!
Regards,
Lozana Rossenova, on behalf of the conference team

Hi everyone,
Hope you are well.
I wanted to take the opportunity to share some information for GLAM Wiki 2025 :) we’ve updated the FAQ, but here are some highlights.

Tours! The day before and after the conference there will be tours. All over the city. So if you’re planning your itinerary you can plan with this in mind. The conference itself will be from 9-18h each day, plus evening program.
Child care! We do have the possibility to provide babysitting, but please send an email with information and a request in advance.
Accommodation! The venue is next to a metro station so accommodation in most of the city will be easily accessible. Staying near to Entrecampos will be walking distance.
Registration! In-person registration closes 30 September!
Future Updates! Join the telegram group and register for the conference - we will send emails to the participants.
Tomorrow (9 September), during the Global GLAM Call we will present some new details from the program.
