Dear all, Wikimania is an extraordinary event: consider hosting it!!

By December 16th express your interest in hosting Wikimania in 2024, 2025 and beyond https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Expressions_of_Interest

You don’t need to have a venue secured or event logistics in place, that’s something we will work on together. At this point, we are primarily seeking your expression of interest. Hosting an international event with the size and magnitude of Wikimania – and now with added distributed and hybrid participation models – is complicated. With resources from the Foundation and guidance from the Wikimania Steering Committee, you will also have access to professional event organizers on the ground that can support this work. We also plan for an overlap with the current Wikimania 2023 organizing team to build in plenty of time for learning and collaboration.

Looking forward to discuss with you new locations for our future Wikimanias

Best regards, Iolanda, on behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee#Members
