Dear all,

We finally witness the return of the in-person Wikimania!

Below is a curated list of some of the sessions that the WMF Global Advocacy team has added to our short-list of sessions to watch. Those marked with ** include members of the Legal Department, whether Human Rights, Trust and Safety, or Global Advocacy.

Please note some of these may only be available in-person, while others may be hybrid of live-streamed. All times are in local time. You can check all session details on the official schedule [1]. 

Enjoy Wikimania,
Ziski
