Dear all,
If you would like to host Wikimania in your locale in 2024 or beyond, the
process to express interest in hosting is open:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Expressions_of_Interest
We have decided to keep the process open for a couple more weeks to give
some extra time to put in new expressions of interest and also for teams to
work on and fill out the ones that have been submitted so far. Thanks to
everyone who has submitted!
The new deadline is January 8th - and the Wikimania steering committee will
deliberate after that. Remember that you can express your interest in
hosting the conference in 2024 and beyond.
Don't forget to write about:
- your team! do you have an existing group of Wikimedians who have worked
on events? Would you like to use the event to recruit new Wikimedians to
your group? Do you have a regional collaboration?
- Your vision and goal for the conference. Why do you want Wikimania to be
held in your area?
You don't need to have a venue or logistics. But if you have ideas (are
there particular places you can imagine, or many options? Places similarly
sized conferences have been?) then tell us about them!
Wikimania is extraordinary and we want to hear from you. Please let the
Wikimania steering committee know if you have any questions.
best,
Phoebe

My Fellow Wikimedians,
Please consider expressing your interest to host Wikimania! You have
opportunity to hire the professional event organizers of your choice and
put your advocacy work front and center being a host!

Dear all,
Wikimania is an extraordinary event: consider hosting it!!
By December 16th express your interest in hosting Wikimania in 2024, 2025
and beyond
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Expressions_of_Interest
You don’t need to have a venue secured or event logistics in place, that’s
something we will work on together. At this point, we are primarily seeking
your expression of interest. Hosting an international event with the size
and magnitude of Wikimania – and now with added distributed and hybrid
participation models – is complicated. With resources from the Foundation
and guidance from the Wikimania Steering Committee, you will also have
access to professional event organizers on the ground that can support this
work. We also plan for an overlap with the current Wikimania 2023
organizing team to build in plenty of time for learning and
collaboration.
Looking forward to discuss with you new locations for our future Wikimanias
Best regards,
Iolanda, on behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee
