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
