Hello all,

The WikidataCon, the conference dedicated to the Wikidata community and co-organized by Wikimedia Deutschland and Wiki Movimento Brasil, is taking place online on October 29-31, around the theme “a sustainable future for Wikidata”. We are happy to let you know that the registration form is now available!

The conference will take place on the online platform Venueless, which includes a livestream display for the presentations and keynotes of Day 1, some workshop rooms for the workshops and discussions of the community program on Day 2 and 3, as well as integrated text channels. This will be the main “venue” for the conference, the place where you can find the other participants and exchange with them. Registering for the conference will allow you to access this platform and fully enjoy the experience of the event.

Registration is free of charge and will remain open until October 29. You will need to enter a valid email address in order to receive the access link to the conference that will be enabled a few days before the event. We encourage you to register as soon as possible, so you can receive special updates and practical information about the event.

We are also excited to give you more information about the community program that will take place on the second and third days of the conference. As we expect discussions and workshops to take place on various topics, organized and attended by people from different time zones, we designed thematic tracks that will take place during specific time slots. You can find an overview of these tracks and slots here.

A call for proposals will be open from September 21 to October 20, where you will be able to propose a session in one of these tracks. More details will be added to this page before the call for proposal starts.
