==History==<br />
Our '''[https://wikiconference.org/wiki/Past_Events previous events]''' had unique themes and were located in different cities: New York City [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2014/Main_Page (2014)], Washington D.C. [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2015/Main_Page (2015)], San Diego [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2016/Main_Page (2016)], Montreal [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2017/Main_Page (2017)], and Columbus, OH [https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2018/Main_Page (2018)].<br />
<br />
'''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_North_America WikiConference North America User Group]''' was formed in 2016 after that year's conference. It is a recognized Affiliate by the Wikimedia Foundation. The purpose of the User Group is to assure that the experiences gained at one conference are shared with future year conference organizers. The mission of the User Group includes coordinating the planning and hosting of events under our purview. Additionally, the User Group documents best practices and shares lessons learned with other Wikimedia communities planning and hosting conferences and similar events.<br />

Light food and drinks will be served, [[:en:Skillz|we will have a DJ]], and tours will be offered throughout the evening. If you would like to dress festively, we’re inspired by steampunk visions of a future where all news is true, environmental terrorists are not welcome, everyone is connected, and masks are plentiful and effective. The only dark lining is when no one cares enough about you to watch your feeds.<br />
*'''Saturday night''': [https://mitmuseum.mit.edu/ MIT Museum](7-11pm)<br> We have the museum to ourselves: explore exhibits with new friends! A cash bar and light snacks will be provided (dinner beforehand in the Stata Center). The museum is a short walk away from Stata (which will remain open until midnight for hacking in the 4th floor R&D Commons space). <br />
*'''Sunday evening''': Games and wiki-activity night -- [[2019/Venue|Stata]], 4th floor, 5-7 pm. Everyone is on their own for dinner. <br />
