Dear Wiki-Yorkers,

You are invited to attend Wikipedia Day 2018 on Sunday, January 14th at the Ace Hotel in midtown Manhattan!

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. And it wouldn't be a birthday without cake, so we'll have plenty of that too.

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: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policies

To register, please sign-up at http://www.acehotel.com/calend ar/newyork/wikipedia-day-2018. See this year's schedule and sign your wiki account name on the wiki event page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia_Day_2018.

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!

Megs
