Dear Wikimania attendees,
The Wikimania Google Opening Reception on July 11 at 7:00 PM will be an
exciting evening where we all will mingle with other Wikimania attendees
and invited guests from cultural, educational, government, and
international institutions and embassies. Your conference badge will serve
as your admission ticket to the reception. The badge can be picked up
during business hours from the registration desk at George Washington
University from the start of the Hackathon on July 10 through 5:00 PM on
July 11.
If you will not arrive to Washington, DC in time to pick up your badge but
would still like to attend the reception, please email
events(a)wikimediadc.org with your name and affiliation, and we will make
sure you will be to attend. And please remember to add your name on the
event's page, as having an accurate headcount will help us with
preparations:

Please note that all guests musts go through Library of Congress security
to enter the venue, and, as such, we strongly suggest that you leave large
bags and laptops at your hotel/hostel/home. Doing so will make going
through security a much faster and smoother process and will give you more
time to enjoy the event.
I look forward to seeing you all this wonderful evening and for all of
Wikimania!
Sincerely,
Nicholas Michael Bashour
President
