Notes

  • Tickets for the Wikipedia tracks will be pre-released several months in advance of the public tickets and before any substantial promotion of said tickets outside of traditional Wikipedia promotional channels, ensuring that Wikipedians get priority booking of tickets. These tickets will be released at a cheaper price than the public tickets
  • Sponsorship will be negotiated on a case by case basis. Full sponsorship packs can be found on the Wikimania London website www.wikimanialondon.org
