If you are interested in the upcoming WikiConference North America, please ensure you are looking at the current conference site.
Toronto — 9-12 November 2023
| Home | Program | Attendance | More |
|---|---|---|---|
WikiConference North America is a series of presentations, panels, workshops and roundtables led by the Wikimedia community and institutions of knowledge and technology. Program submissions for WikiConference North America 2023 are closed.
Theme and focus areas
This year, WikiConference North America's theme is "Recent Changes", after the bountiful wiki stream:
- Emerging out of crisis in society, in tech, and in knowledge itself, we come together again as info-activists seeking a brighter future. How can we reimagine our communities and build that future based on the shared humanity of our free and open knowledge projects?
This theme covers the vast changes in our world since the last in-person meeting in 2019, including:
- COVID and future of health
- Climate change
- Information threats
- Artificial intelligence as promise and peril
- Technology trends
- Regional communities revival
- Latest research and update on Wikipedia / wiki projects
There is a special WikiCred-supported track this year on credibility and mis/disinformation. Submitting something under this option may help with a WikiCred travel scholarship, though you still have to apply through the regular scholarship process. This option (like all others) is non-exclusive, and you may select it in addition to other applicable categories.
We also have various focus areas the community has expressed interest in. Don't worry if your proposal does not exactly fit in one of the below categories; you are welcome to submit proposals on any relevant topic!
- Community Initiatives
- Education
- Equity, Inclusion, Community Health
- GLAM, Heritage, Culture
- Governance
- Languages
- Legal, Advocacy, Risks
- Open Data
- Research, Science, Medicine
- Technology
- Wild Ideas
