Hi folks,
The 1st Wiki-Conference New York will be held over the weekend of July 25-26 2009 (confirmed!) at New York University, and hosted by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City.
Jimmy Wales will be giving a keynote, and we'll also have several dedicated panel discussions to be organized on-wiki (Panels), open opportunities for short presentations to the whole assembly (Lightning Talks), and a good deal of totally open space (Open Space Technology). Oh yeah, and there's the Central Park picnic!
Participants are encouraged to give your own ideas for topic sessions.

And let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) Wikimedia NYC
