Celtic Knot Conference 2022/Satellite events

Celtic Knot

Wikimedia Language Conference

1-2 July 2022

hybrid event

The ongoing pandemic situation doesn’t allow bringing all participants to an in-person event. However, taking into account the need for real-life connections, we would like to encourage regional communities to meet in person, when their local context allows it.
