Hello,

Wikimedia Nederland has an annual conference, the WCN. As usual, it is scheduled for November, this time Saturday the 28th.

We will not dramatically change the concept but are a little bit more conscious about these points: * The primary goal of the conference is for people to meet and connect, not the pure transmission of information. So the sessions tend to be shorter and have a dedicated part for discussions. * We try to make use of the conference for the goals of the association, e.g. by showing more what WMNL does (and whom you can contact for what). At the same time it remains a platform for community members to show what they are doing at the moment (e.g. in Wikipedia or Wikidata). * Everytime there should be, if possible, one session in English, although the general language of the conference still is Dutch.

Therefore we have a Call for Speakers also in English: http://www.wikimedia.nl/projectpagina/programma

So, if you have something to communicate and want to meet people in the Low Countries, with regard to Wikipedia, free knowledge and our other topics: the WCN might be a very suitable conference for you. :-)

Kind regards Ziko van Dijk programme coordinator
