The conference will run for 3 days, with an optional welcome dinner on August 25th, and the special closing Wikimania party on Augusts 28th. Besides the exciting conferences, we are planning a set of activities for those who also want to enjoy Buenos Aires renowned nightlife.

We will be opening the call for speakers and scholarship applications during the following weeks, and the assistance registration in March. News about the event will be published in the Wikimania 2009 web site [wikimania2009.wikimedia.org]
