Hey Paulo!

The venue where Wikimania is held this year also hosted a Climate Conference for the United Nations in 2018, which over 20,000 people attended, so there is plenty of space! We plan for a bit less than that; the largest Wikimanias had around 1500 attendees.

We do not have a hard limit this year, but we will let everyone know if we are approaching the maximum. The only things limiting us are the catering and the number of chairs in the venue (which is why we are closing the registration on 26 July, to allow us to plan accordingly depending on how many people register).

Cheers,
