Dear all,
With overwhelming interest this year, and even with a venue capacity 30%
higher than last year, the in-person event sold out in just 24 hours! We’re
truly humbled by your enthusiasm. We can’t wait to meet you in Paris!
Requests for invitation are being reviewed in the order they were received.
If you submitted a request, you will receive a response via email within
fourteen days.
Meanwhile, the Core Organizing Team is busy crafting a virtual experience
richer and more interactive than ever, thinking lively discussions,
meaningful connections, and new ways to engage with speakers and the
in-person crowd.
Many of you have already signed up to join virtually, and we’d love for you
to be part of it too.
The best part? Tickets for the virtual event are still free and available,
so don’t miss out. Register now

for the virtual event and join the experience! You can also still add
yourself to the waitlist for the in-person event.
Cheers,

Communications Lead
Dear Wikimedians,
Greetings from Wikimania 2026 COT
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/2026:Organizers>!
We are excited to inform you that registration for Wikimania 2026
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Wikimania> will be opening soon.
We will open registration much earlier than in previous years –and with an
added step to allow for more in-depth trust and safety checks for in-person
attendance.
This year we will be introducing a “request for invitation” system. If you
are interested in attending the event in Paris, we encourage you to submit
your request for invitation as soon as possible. Trust and safety checks
will be conducted on a rolling basis, and confirmation emails will be sent
within 14 days of submission. You can read more about this process on
the Wikimania
Wiki <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Registration>, and ask
questions on the talk page
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026_talk:Registration>.
Thank you in advance for your support as we implement this new process. Our
goal is to provide a safe and secure environment for collaboration at
Wikimania Paris.
We will follow up here to let you know when registration opens.
For any support, feel free to contact the COT via email at
wikimania(a)wikimedia.org
Kind regards,
BEN CHAHED Afek
Communications Lead - Wikimania 2026

Hi all,
I'm a member of Wikimania (July 21-25 in Paris) program committee for the
research track. The research track is open until **March 31st**. The other
tracks are closed.
The research track accepts proposal by both professional researchers and
Wikimedians. Our goal is to foster discussions between the research
community and the Wikimedia communities, mostly regarding structural
changes or challenges for the future of our projects. The effects of
generative AI, community growth & diversity, and "reliability at scale" are
themes we envision but several others are possible as long as they stay on
the broad themes: Freedom, Equity, and Reliability.
You can find more details here:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Program/Research
If you need additional information, feel free to reach me.
Have a nice day,
Julien.
