Wikimania Esino Lario venue[edit]

The Primary School can be a space used for the hackathon, for thematic discussions, for poster presentations. The structure of the building allows to have plenary discussions and discussions in smaller groups. A suggestion[1] was to use the space during the conference to focus for half a day on specific topics (i.e. education, GLAMs, technology, chapters...) and to have simultaneously smaller presentations in the different rooms, to allow people interested a topic to move around the space.
