Hi everyone!
It is my great pleasure to inform you that Wikimania 2024 will happen on 7-10 August 2024
at International Congress Centre in Katowice, Poland.
Katowice is a UNESCO City of Music, home to many cultural institutions and in 2024 it will
be a European City of Science. Situated in the heart of the region, it highlights some of
the best of Silesia–rich history and folklore, interesting architecture, and distinct
local language and cuisine! Well-connected, it is also a great place from which you can
explore the rest of the country.
Wikimania Dates
The main part of Wikimania is scheduled to happen from 7th to 10th of August. 6tf of
August is already designated as a pre-conference about which we will share more
information later.
Why Katowice?
We decided to shift the location to Katowice from Kraków due to unforeseen complications
out of our control with our original selected venue. It was critical for us to find an
ideal event space for Wikimania with the right facilities, provisions and a great
location. We also wanted it to accommodate more general space for informal catch-ups and
hangouts, our own bespoke areas and enough meeting rooms for all the event needs. We were
also looking for cities that would give a similarly exciting cultural experience for
attendees. We were able to find all of that at the International Congress Centre in
Katowice. We are confident that ICC will meet all of our event needs, and that Katowice
and the surrounding area will offer attendees an enriching experience with its fascinating
history, outstanding amenities, a range of local cafes and restaurants, and rich cultural
institutions–all within walking distance to the main venue.
I would like to thank you all for your patience and excitement for the upcoming Wikimania.
We cannot wait to meet you all in Katowice next summer
Get your scholarship application in now
Scholarships for Wikimania 2024 are open and will close on the 18th of December. We look
forward to receiving applications from across our community and welcoming both scholars
and attendees to the wonderful city of Katowice!
On behalf of the Core Organizing Team 2024,
