Ideas for the 2019 conference
General structure
- Theme: Credibility + Incredibility (co-planned w/ CredCo)
- Dates: November 9-11 (Sat-Mon, a long weekend)
- November 8 for satellite events, in nearby spaces (a few 20-50-person gatherings)
- Venue: We currently have most of the Stata Center reserved, w/ spaces on the 1st + 4th floors. Looking for spaces for satellite events, dinners, parties.
- Lodging: We're looking for inexpensive options for visiting students. Perhaps we have enough locals to support couchsurfing for some?
Potential subthemes
- WikiCite (possible on the satellite day)
- News crediblity (hello CurrentEvents, Wikinews, Wikitribune, Civil? The Correspondent?? FB local news???) (possibly on the satellite day)
- Disinformation and AI (ORES, other mechanisms, non-wiki approaches)
- Education (WikiEdu is often a sponsor, hopefully again this year)
- Librarianship and curation
- Experimentation and unreliable drafts (importance of simplicity + all-can-edit!)
Potential events / fun sessions
- Sockpuppet Theatre (reprise, for all ages)
- Sessions for high-school and younger students
- Web 2.0 Elevator Pitch Contest (reprise)
- Creative childcare (for attendees w/ kids)
Potential archetypes (just dreaming here...)
- Get Ward C + some Meatballers to join
- A vigorous Federated-MediaWiki/Federated-WD/
- A vigorous WN/WTrib/CurrentEvents showdown
- A vigorous Wikiversity/Wikieducator/OCW/EdX showdown
- A Hatnote installation w/ delicious acoustics
