2017/Unconference

WikiConference North America 2017 • Montréal, Canada

Unconference-style scheduling

On Thursday August 10, we are holding wide-ranging unconference sessions, when anyone can propose or spontaneously organize a mini-presentation, discussion, or workshop on a wiki-related topic.

We also will be holding lightning talks at the end of the day.

For any questions about the unconference, please contact our unconference unmoderator at richard@wikimedianyc.org.

Lightning talks

This could be you giving a "Lightning Talk" ; from Wikipedia Day NYC.

Add your 5-minute lightning talk topic you can personally present as part of the unconference, about wiki topics or anything Free Culture-related. (actual schedule for lightning talks will be determined the day of). Last-minute entries always accepted! For examples, see the range of ideas in 2016's lightning talks. The schedule of the conference is still being organized and we will try to facilitate as many of these suggestions as possible.

Sign up for 5-minute talks

Please sign up here, and include your lightning talk topic. (scheduled for Wednesday 5pm)
