- Education and Patnership: This session stresses the need for Cooperation, Collaboration and Communication among different parties(Teachers, Students and the Administrators) to work together so as to achieve quality education with the included use of Wikipedia for the common welfare of an institution and also to improve student's learning.
- Leadership Development Working Group: From this session, i learnt that anybody can be a leader depending on the context and leadership is not just referring to the Administrators of Wikipedia and their affiliate groups. Another vital takeaway from this session is knowing that investing in people's leadership skills can lead to a successful project and movement sustainability. Also, noting that leadership is a collective input and not that of just an individual.
- Wikimedia Soundlogo Roundtable: The importance of Audio Branding in an Audio driven World was one keynote during the session and also knowing that people react to sound 17% faster than words.
