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 -- * I use this address for lists; send personal messages to phoebe.ayers <at> gmail.com *

Fwd: Welcoming expressions of interest for 2024 Wikimania and beyond
by Iolanda Pensa 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

Dear all We just announced the call for expressions of interest for Wikimania 2024, 205 and beyond. Please find below further information and do not hesitate to forward the message to those who might be interested. My very warm regards and looking forward to further great wikimanias :) Iolanda on behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee > Inizio messaggio inoltrato: > > Da: Iolanda Pensa <iolanda(a)pensa.it> > Oggetto: Welcoming expressions of interest for 2024 Wikimania and beyond > Data: 2 novembre 2022 11:06:35 CET > A: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > > Hi everyone, > > On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee, the stewards of our movement’s biggest event, we are welcoming expressions of interest from community groups to host Wikimania in 2024 and beyond [1]. > > The last time we were able to convene in person was in Stockholm in 2019. After two years of virtual gatherings, we are excited to come together again in person in Singapore in August 2023 (exact dates to be confirmed very soon) [2]. We want to make sure there is plenty of overlap between the current organizing team and future ones. That is why we are now accepting expressions of interest for 2024, 2025 and beyond. We hope to announce the next host by April 2023. > > Interested community groups do not need to have a polished proposal. This is an expression of interest that we will develop further together. We will be taking multiple factors into consideration, such as the cost and location of the venue, visa requirements, accessibility, health infrastructure, internet connectivity, and security. If a regional collaboration is interested in hosting Wikimania, we will consider multiple cities in your expression of interest. We love to take the Wikimania magic around the world with a lasting legacy of people and projects. As such, we will also consider the rotation of previous Wikimania host cities hoping to take Wikimania to new places or those we haven’t been to in a while. > > Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or comments.
