Deadline for Accommodation at the Headquarters hotel is June 22. See below!
Wikimania 2017 will be held August 9-13, 2017 in and around the Le Centre Sheraton Montréal https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Venue, in Montréal, Canada https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Montr%C3%A9al The venue will host most of the conference, hackathon, meetups, and pre-events. Most of the WMF personnel and scholarship recipients will be housed there as well. Those that submitted accepted talks for the program have been notified and the agenda will be finalized in the next few weeks.
We would like to encourage all speakers and attendees to register early and book their flight and travel as soon as possible. It is going to be a very popular, busy summer in Canada this year because of the 150th Anniversary of Canada and the 375th Anniversary of Montréal.
If you wish to stay at the headquarters hotel and take advantage of our discounted rate, the deadline is June 22. After that prices will be higher and availability throughout the city limited. There is also a secondary property close by that is holding rooms for us as well. See:
