Bring the spirit of the Collaboration of the Open with you! Outside of the main programme, you may also register for a meetup: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Meetups and more details about side events will be available soon. Oh, and if you haven't already (WHY?!) - let me provide the registration link so I can see you all in Katowice: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Registration With deep gratitude to the members of the programme working group and all who supported this part of the process Wojciech Pędzich Programme Lead, Wikimania 2024

Excursion to Auschwitz?
by Harry Mitchell 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

Hi all, I'm sure the organisers have a lot on their plate right now so I don't want to add any unnecessary pressure, I was just wondering if any thought had been given to an organised excursion of Wikimedians to Auschwitz during Wikimania as Krakow seems reasonably close? I know this is a sensitive topic and likely to be deeply distressing but I'm sure many of us would find it worthwhile. Best, Harry

Page for spontaneous events on pre-Wikimania days
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 30 Jun '24

30 Jun '24

Do we have a page where to add self-organised events such as meetups and tours? Should I just create [[2024:Meetups]] similar to https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Meetups ? For context, I'm planning to visit a local coal mine and given it needs to be booked I'd like to give people a chance to schedule for it. https://www.kopalniaguido.pl/index.php/en/sightseeing-of-guido-coal-mine Best, Federico

Wikimania 2023 Evaluation Report
by Butch Bustria 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Hello everyone, I am writing to share with you the evaluation report for Wikimania 2023, Wikimedia movement's largest activity, which took place virtually and in person in Singapore, in August 2023. The report covers results from the attendee and scholar surveys, as well as the impact of our communication, social media and media strategies. The report was written by a team of colleagues from the Wikimedia Foundation Communications department, and you can find it here: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Evaluation Here is a brief summary of the main findings: - Wikimania 2023 was the largest Wikimania to date, with 2866 Wikimedians from 142 countries attending - 761 in person and 2105 remotely. - The theme for the 18th Wikimania edition was Diversity. Collaboration. Future., reflecting the goals and challenges of the Wikimedia movement in the next decade, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). - Survey respondents were highly satisfied with the event (over 90%), and felt that it contributed to their learning and sense of belonging (over 90%). - Scholarship recipients felt that the experience would encourage them to share lessons learnt with their communities and continue to improve their overall contributions to the movement. - Communications strategies were utilized to raise awareness about Wikimedia amongst youth in ESEAP, as well as the general public in the region and beyond. - Wikimania 2023 featured a rich and diverse program, with over 300 main program sessions, the first ever WikiWomen Summit, a 5-day hackathon, Wikimedia Basic workshops for beginners, and more. I hope you enjoy reading the report and learning more about the outcomes and impact of Wikimania 2023. Please feel free to share your feedback, comments, and questions on the report's talk page: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2023_talk:Evaluation Thank you for being part of this amazing event and community! Kind regards, *Butch Bustria* ESEAP Wikimania 2023 Organizing Team
