The WikiConference North America 2023 is the tenth annual gathering of wikimedists, institutions and professionals from across North America, including Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. Our theme for this year is Recent Changes.

The event will be held at the Toronto Reference Library in Toronto, Ontario from 10 to 12 November 2023. The evening before, participants and guests of honor are invited to a cocktail reception starting at 6 p.m. on November 9. Although the dress code is at everyone's discretion, a tenue de ville is welcome during the opening night.

On Friday 10 November, a pre-conference day is organised where several events such as hackathon and workshops will be held alongside the main conference. The pre-conference is also a time for participants to plan their schedule for the main conference, explore the poster session, enjoy one of the many sightseeing tours or just mingle with other participants!

On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 November, the main WikiConference will be held, including academic and informal presentations on Wikimedia outreach, workshops to enhance the skills of grassroots organizers, practical information on the Wikimedia movement in North America, and related topics such as free culture and digital rights. The programme will be announced shortly.

Call for Program Submissions is now live! It will run from Friday, March 31 until Friday, June 30, 2023 at 23:59 EDT
