WikiConference North America 2021 takes place over three days, October 8 - 10.

We have several concurrent tracks:

  • Tracks Red and Blue are filled with presentations.
  • Track Green is primarily workshop and discussions.
  • The edit-a-thons track holds edit-a-thons and other collaborative sessions.
  • The Unconference is where anyone can propose or spontaneously organize a mini-presentation, discussion, or workshop on a wiki-related topic. Please list sessions on our unconference page.

There are 5 unscheduled minutes between most sessions to allow for session wrap-ups, switching rooms, and taking quick breaks.

Please note that the schedule will evolve before and even during the conference, so keep checking back for the latest info!
