This year's theme is open knowlege collaboration. This year's WikiConference NA is being held in conjunction with the OpenStreetMap US event Mapping USA/2022. We invite submissions that explore how to interlink and collaborate between Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap. We will foster a variety of formats in broadcast, large-group, and small-group sessions over three successive days.

While the theme and these focus areas will be particular topics the conference will revolve around, we welcome all submissions that are relevant to the Wikimedia movement - do not feel confined to the conference theme or focus areas if you have something great to share!

If you're interested in giving a lightning talk or creating an unconference session, feel free to place ideas on the Unconference page.
