Hello,
WikiConference North America is excited to share that the 2024 conference will be taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States! Our annual Culture Crawl will take place on October 3, followed by conference programming from October 4-6. Our theme will be "Crossroads", inspired by the Indiana state motto and also alluding to the multiple meanings of the word—as the place where Wikimedians from across the continent cross paths, as well as what we hope will be a turning point for participants.
If you are interested in attending, please read on for scholarship information and program submissions.
We are now accepting scholarship applications through May 31. Any active Wikimedian in North America is eligible to apply to have their travel and/or accommodations covered for the event. If interested, please visit
https://scholarships.wcna.wiki to apply.
We are also accepting program submissions through May 31. If you'd like to submit a lecture, panel, roundtable, workshop, lightning talk, or other meetup, please visit
https://submissions.wcna.wiki.
For those interested in attending, registration will be opening soon, and you will receive another email when it does. For your reference, pricing will be identical to last year. Individual tickets are $25, and professional tickets for those attending on behalf of a company or organization are $100. All proceeds will go towards this and future WikiConference North America events. We will also offer free tickets to enable everyone to participate regardless of financial constraints.
If you plan to travel to the conference from outside of the United States, please review entry requirements through the U.S. Visa portal (
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wizard.html). Document applications and renewals can take a while during this busy travel season, so you're encouraged to check them now!
