Hello all,

I am excited to announce the next edition of the WikidataCon https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2025, taking place over three days from 31st October to 2nd November later this year.

Organised by Wikimedia Germany, this event celebrates the entire Wikidata Community in all of its aspects; editors, tool builders, patrollers, data reusers, members of GLAM and other organisations that use and contribute to Wikidata.

This year, the event format will be an online-style conference with a full online-program that attendees can join and participate with program-content from anywhere in the world.

We also encourage local chapters and community user groups to organise in-person meetups alongside the event to bring people together and also celebrate Wikidata becoming a teenager for its 13th Birthday (October 29th).
