Namaste,

Wkiconference India 2023 starts tomorrow. The home page is here - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2023

I have many questions –

• Where the event is happening?
• If someone just wants to walk-in, where he/she should go?
• Sessions are listed. But no details. There could have been link to the submissions so that we can know what are the details
• No mention of links to online streaming. No live streaming?

I just observed something peculiar about this event. Most details, for ex., venue, are kept as secret. What is the necessity to do so? When I travel to such events, I start posting in social media (FB, Insta, Twitter, Whatsapp status) about the event, start posting photos from airport itself till end of event. So far I did not see a single post about the event, the venue, the goodies, the sessions, etc. What’s going on? Whether the organisers have put a ban on such activities? If that is the case, then it is totally against the philosophy of free knowledge and open society.

I am just wondering. I am sure many more also will be wondering.

Thanks and regards,

Pavanaja
