Hello from the Wikimania 2013 Hong Kong local team! We are beginning the process of inviting external keynote speakers, and would like the wider Wikimania community to review our shortlist before we make formal invitations.
Feel free to suggest additional names for the list. We have more than two names at the moment, so do reply if you have preferences among the list too!
Current shortlist, and suggested topics for each speaker:
Creating an online user-generated community and how it's similar to Wikipedia
Charles Mok, founder of Internet Society Hong Kong, member of LegCo (Hong Kong's parliament)
Copyright and censorship in the digital age, and how they interact with free culture
Arianna Huffington of The Huffington Post
Create an online user generated community on the Internet and how it's similar to Wikipedia
Thomas Crampton, Social@Ogilvy
How South East Asia local cultures affect their online culture
Ada Wong, Founder of Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture
and Supervisor of HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity (the only 'art
high school' in Hong Kong)
Creating a creative community and open dialogues for young people in HK and in the region
Thank you in advance for your ideas!
