Great North American Wiknic in your state or province!
by Pharos 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

On Sat June 8 we celebrated the first two Wiknics of the summer, in both New York City and Los Angeles! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wiknic_June_2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wiknic2024 We had high turnouts this year, as we were able to use the CentralNotice banner (far more powerful than geonotice!) to target, e.g. particular U.S. states. Please add your picnic location and date, and we'll be glad to help set up the CentralNotice for you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiknic#Great_North_American_Wiknic_… Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

Program submissions are also open 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. 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-resour…>. Document applications and renewals can take a while during this busy travel season, so you're encouraged to check them now! If you have any questions, please reach out to the team at info(a)wikiconference.org. You can also chat with organizers and attendees in our Telegram group at https://chat.wcna.wiki/. Sincerely, The WCNA organizing team
