Conference outline

WikiConference North America 2017 is taking place over the course of two days, and we have many exciting activities planned to welcome you to Montreal!

August 9 - Wednesday - Culture Crawl, Scan-a-thon, and Reception

The BAnQ Vieux, where WCNA is hosting an edit-a-thon, trainings, programming, and more.

Our second-annual Culture Crawl connects Wikimedians with Montreal's cultural institutions. The day's activities are a great chance to explore and connect with the city you'll be spending the rest of Wikimania in.

  • At McGill University:
    • Three unique tours, including backstage tours with their collections and archive.
    • Free access to the Redpath Museum
  • At the BAnQ-Vieux:
    • Canadian Women Edit-a-thon
    • Wikidata training sessions
    • Scan-a-thon / Source-a-thon with BAnQ's rare materials dating back over a century.
    • Tour of the BAnQ and its backroom archives.
  • A Photo Drive - take photos for the Commons throughout the day.

August 10 - Thursday - Programming
On Thursday we invite you to attend our three=track programming sessions, which includes:

  • Presentations from community members on their activities, projects, and more.
  • Technical workshops on Wikidata, the Outreach Dashboard, and more.
  • Roundtable discussion on innovating edit-a-thons and meetups
  • Lightning Talks (5 minutes) for anyone to get up and give.
