Dear Public Policy Wikimedians,
As we mark 20 years of Wikimania, we are thrilled to invite you to contribute to this milestone conference happening in Nairobi, Kenya, from August 6-9, 2025, with a pre-conference on August 5. The theme for this year is Wikimania at 20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability.
We are currently accepting program proposals, and we believe your insights and expertise in public policy are pivotal to this year's theme. Proposals can take any format—whether you're presenting remotely from the comfort of your home or workplace, providing a pre-recorded presentation, or joining us onsite in Nairobi as a live presenter.
To help spark ideas, here are a few topics that may align with the conference theme:
● The intersection of public policy and the sustainability of open knowledge projects.
● Policies shaping inclusivity and accessibility in the Wikimedia ecosystem.
● Case studies on impactful knowledge-sharing policies from around the globe.
● Innovative strategies for ensuring equitable and sustainable access to knowledge.
The submission deadline is March 31, 2025, and we encourage you to submit your proposals at the program submission site 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
Your contribution to Wikimania 2025 can help shape a more inclusive, impactful, and sustainable future for knowledge sharing. We eagerly look forward to seeing your submissions and ideas.
Warm regards,
Butch Bustria https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Organisers
Hi all,
I have received a few messages asking for clarity in response to the message about Wikimania.
*We are submitting a proposal for a day zero advocacy workshop*. This will follow a similar format as in Singapore and Katowice. There was no interest in the last advocacy network call to form a working group on the topic, so the workshop organizing will be co-led by myself and WMEU. We will come to this group for input on the draft agenda, time-slot for the workshop, and other details.
As Butch said, please submit sessions about your public policy advocacy work to the main conference so the rest of the movement has a chance to learn about the important initiatives you've run this past year!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend, Ziski

Thanks for the info Ziski. Carla and I will be at Wikimania this year, so please count on us for the Zero Day event (or if you want to create a session draft). All the best,
