We’d like to invite our members and wider UK community to the Wikimedia UK 2024 Community Celebration, taking place on Saturday 23rd November, 11-1pm.

This online get-together will be a celebration of what our community has achieved in the last year, a recognition of that work through the Wikimedian of the Year awards, and to showcase some of the incredible work that has been taking place across the UK.

Over the last month or so, we’ve been reaching out to community members in a call for lightning talks, and we’re really excited by what we’ve now got lined up. It’s often the case that there’s a huge amount of work done by Wikimedians that others just don’t see, so we’re really happy to be able to highlight some of this activity.

After the lightning talks, we’ll be presenting the annual Wikimedian of the Year awards - there’s more information about those here, and nominations are open until the 1st November.

This event is open to both members and non-members of Wikimedia UK, who'd like to find out more about Wikimedia work in the UK, and who'd like to get more involved!

Tickets are free, the event will be held on Zoom, and you can reserve your tickets now through Eventbrite

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes,

Rupal Karia

Outreach and Community Coordinator

Working hours - Mondays and Thursdays 9-5pm
