Dear fellow Wikimedians,

the programme team has just published an updated version of the sessions that we are planning to cover at the Wikimedia Conference (April 10-13, Berlin): Right now, we have 30 sessions on the agenda![1]

Please note that this is still work in progress, it is not all set in stone - at least not yet. We will now be working with the facilitators to figure out the best possible session formats and will present a schedule draft by mid March.

We are still looking for several speakers, panellists and discussion partners among the participants, and have indicated this need with an "OPEN CALL for speakers" for the respective sessions. Several sessions still need qualified speakers, please reach out to the programme team and express your interest in preparing and holding or contributing otherwise to a session.

The official programme of the conference starts on Friday. For groups who would like to arrange separate or special meetings, we have reserved the conference venue for an Open Thursday already[2]. Please get in touch with WMDE's event management (wmcon{{@}}wikimedia.de) to make respective arrangements.

Let us know if you have any comments, ideas, wishes or concerns and help us make this conference very productive and sustainable.

Best regards, on behalf of the programme team, Nicole
