Evelin raises an interesting perspective about " the only good place to
ever do it is Europe" , historically Wikimania has spent a lot of time in
Europe because it had large individual communities
Just a quick note, because I know we have many newer people on these lists:
of the Wikimanias to date, not counting Singapore or Krakow, 5 have been in
Europe and 10 have not been in Europe, plus 2 virtual/global conferences.
The full list can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimania or
here:

Note that includes the first Wikimania, in Frankfurt, which was originally
only planned as a one-off event... before we decided the conference was
really cool and should happen again :)
I don't know of a comprehensive list of regional conferences throughout the
years but there have been dozens.... WikiIndaba, Iberoconf, WikiConference
North America, WikiArabia, Wikimedia CEE, ESEAP... and many of these have
been quite large. Suffice to say, Wikimedians seem to like to get together
:) I would like to see the movement keep working on making really excellent
virtual events too, as I think there's a lot more to explore in that realm
too.
cheers,
Phoebe
