Dear all, We are looking forward to WikiConference North America here at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts this weekend! We will be welcoming around 250 people over the four-day weekend, with a museum and cultural institution culture crawl on Friday, conference sessions on Saturday and Sunday, and discussion/hackathon focused on reliability and credibility on Monday.
For those who can't be here with us in person, we have a live stream planned of three of our session rooms on Saturday and Sunday. To access the stream, go here: http://web.mit.edu/webcast/wiki/f19/
We are looking forward to sharing as much of the conference as we can with you all! To find out what is when, the schedule is here (all times eastern time): https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2019/Schedule
We have a packed schedule with sessions about education, research, outreach, and more, as well as a special focus/track in our main auditorium on credibility and reliability in the news and media, which our partners at the Credibility Coalition are assisting with. As we think about the future of Wikipedia as a reliable source in a world where social media platforms and media networks are struggling with issues of misinformation and credibility, we hope that this program will be both timely and helpful.
Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you are able to tune in online. Phoebe, for WCNA
