Dear Wikimedia friends,
We’re happy to be able to share some news and information around the Wikimedia Conference with you:
1) Report
Today, we have published our report on the Wikimedia Conference 2016. It does not only describe our tasks and activities before, on and after the conference, but also provides a comprehensive overview of our learnings and experience. The report is meant to serve as a learning resources, and based on that, we will share more learning patterns in the upcoming months.

3) First learning pattern
Together with our “Visiting Wikimedian” Teele Vaalma, who supported us tremendously in the organization of the Wikimedia Conference, we have written a first learning pattern on how to find the right venue for a conference (including a checklist!).
