Toronto is on Indigenous land. This is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (also known as the Iroquois or Six Nations Confederacy), the Wendat (Hurons), and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Conference organizers gratefully acknowledge these Indigenous nations for their guardianship of this land. We would also like to remind and reaffirm our accountability to these Indigenous nations, and to all Indigenous peoples and communities living in Toronto.

This land is also part of the Dish with One Spoon territory, a treaty between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Anishinaabek and allied nations, to peaceably share and care for this land, its waters, and all of the biodiversity in the Great Lakes region. All those who come to visit, live and work here are responsible for honouring this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship, and respect.

WikiConference North America 2024 was the eleventh annual gathering of Wikimedians, institutions, and professionals from across North America, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. Our theme was "Crossroads", inspired by the Indiana state motto and also alluding to the multiple meanings of the word—as the place where Wikimedians from across the continent cross paths, as well as what we hope will be a turning point for participants.

The event was held at Indiana University Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana, from October 4–6, 2024.

On Thursday, October 3, there was a Wiki Culture Crawl during the day, and the opening night cocktail reception.

History

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. In 2020, 2021 and 2022 WikiConference North America were online. We returned in person in 2023.
