Hi all,

Early bird registration for WikiConference North America closes Oct 13, so register soon and share with others who are interested! Register and get more information here: http://wikiconference.org

WikiConference North America will be held Nov 8-11 2019 at MIT, in collaboration with the Credibility Coalition. This year’s theme is “reliability/credibility.” Wikimedians from around North America will gather to discuss issues of misinformation, teaching with Wikipedia, Wikidata, outreach to cultural institutions, inclusion and diversity in the Wikimedia projects, tech and tools for reliable information, and much more. Those new to the Wikimedia projects are welcome along with experienced editors.

Friday Nov. 8 will be a “culture crawl” day, featuring workshops, trainings, Wikipedia editing and backstage tours of local museums, based at the Museum of Fine Arts in downtown Boston. Saturday and Sunday Nov 9-10 will be conference days at the Stata Center on the MIT campus, featuring five tracks of presentations, workshops and discussions. Monday Nov. 11 will be a hands-on hackathon and discussion day at MIT, centered around projects and tools related to information reliability.

Can't wait to welcome you all to Cambridge!

best,

Phoebe
