Dear Wikimedians,
On the recommendation of the Wikimania 2016 selection Jury Committee, we have accepted the proposal from the Esino Lario Italy team. The Wikimania Esino Lario team is composed mainly of volunteers. It is promoted by Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia CH in partnership with Esino Lario city council, Ecomuseo delle Grigne, Pro Loco Esino Lario, Parco Regionale della Grigna Settentionale and the Esino Lario local associations and community. nThe proposal will be further vetted by the WMF staff in the coming months, after which time we hope to confirm the award. Please join us in congratulating Wikimania Esino Lario!

We would also like to thank the team from Manila, Philippines for their efforts in putting together excellent proposal. As a volunteer-led movement, it is hugely encouraging to have so many who want to support Wikimania. The bidding process requires a substantial time investment, and we are most grateful for every team’s hard work.
For those of you who are considering hosting in future years, we expect to issue the Request for Proposals for 2017 in September.
Sincerely,
Ellie Young, WMF Conference Coordinator On behalf of the Wikimania Steering Committee
Kudos to the team and to the jury for daring to try something totally new & exciting for Wikimania 2016 that sounds just a little bit crazy. :D I am hugely looking forward to being part of this -- and I think everyone who signs up to come will do so in the spirit of exploration & adventure in which this bid is undertaken.
I've been to many conferences, offsites, retreats and what have you. The ones that stick most in my mind are the ones that combined an interesting environment, challenges to overcome, and lots of rich, intimate conversations, woven together into an unforgettable experience. It sounds like Wikimania 2016 will have plenty of "all of the above". :)
Erik
Congratulations to all people involved in this choice and, on behalf of Wikimédia France, special big congratulations to Wikimedia IT and Wikimedia CH who led it all \o/ !!
Auguri! Will be a peculiar but a successful Wikimania!

Esino Lario looks like a perfect location for an event like Wikimania, for a community like Wikimedia. Decentralization is a key aspect of our movement, and having events out of the usual global hubs is a necessity.
Congratulations on the official annoucement. I very much look forward to helping out with the education programming! Leigh
