Part of
Wikipedia's global 17th birthday celebration,
Wikipedia Day
will include a mini-conference of scheduled panels as well as
unconference style talks and discussions proposed by attendees on the
day of the event. We are very excited to announce speakers such as Jason Scott (Internet Archive), Jackie Koerner (Visiting Scholar, Wiki Ed), and Andrew Lih (Wikimedia DC), as well as a fantastic line-up of panels that highlight projects and issues of relevance to the Wikimedia NYC community.
This event is free of cost and open to all. We encourage you to invite anyone who might be interested in
discussing
Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects, but all attendees must agree to follow our friendly space policies:

We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to
our roster, and otherwise join in the open space experience. We look forward to seeing you soon!
