The ESEAP Conference 2024 is the third regional conference devoted to Wikimedians in the East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Pacific regions. It was convened in Kota Kinabalu from 10 to 12 May 2024. ESEAP Conference 2024 was the first conference that I attended with a full scholarship. At this ESEAP conference, I was only a participant.

Things learned

• Many people care about language and free access to knowledge.
