Ideas/informal brainstorming for 2025

This is a place for informal suggestions and ideas re:WCNA 2025 in NYC. If you want to be on the organizing committee or help volunteer, please reach out to the Wikimedia NYC chapter: info@wikimedianyc.org

Programming

Hackathon
Scanathon
Curated "bring-your-dslr quest"
WikiFashion show
Wikiracing

Culture crawl possibilities

GCT basement tour
en:List of museums in New York City
en:Little Red Lighthouse (tours arranged through parks department)
en:High Line
en:Intrepid Museum (event spaces)
NYC WikiTrain (Long Island Rail Road and New York City Subway possibilities)
Bird-watching? (Prospect Park, Greenwood Cemetery, or Central Park)
possible combinations of culture crawl and food (possible dinner arrangement with multiple smallish flexible options; probably food courts or other areas with lots of fast choices and seating)
Subway-themed escape room [1]

Food

vegan lunch options (also consider kosher/halal)
- Box lunches at Toronto WCNA were quick, but presumably more food waste
WikiCake/s

Communications

centralized chat location
- WCNA 2024 used telegram
- WMNYC uses discord
- new ideas?

Travel and lodging

discounted group rates for travel
coupon codes or anything when booking hotels and flights
discounted Citibike passes:
- would extend the radius of where we could house people and/or culture crawl
- riding a bike in Manhattan is not for the faint-hearted, so may not be popular

Random

breaking a world record at the conference?
side event for Wikimedians who also play Magic the Gathering
