Programme

The programme team has identified two main themes for the Wikimedia Conference: Organisation, structures and grants and Success and impact. Both themes address the burning questions, challenges and latest discussions that directly affect the entities in the Wikimedia movement. We have decided to focus on the organisational issues and the future of the movement in general, rather than on the details of programmatic work. The insights of the Chapters Dialogue project will be presented and will serve as additional input for certain topics.

Regular guests of the conference will notice that we skipped most of the programmatic sessions this year. The Wikimedia Conference is a valuable opportunity where all movement entities' leaders come together to discuss our ideas, plans, challenges and fears for future, and we wish to reserve what little time we have on constructive debate and discussion.
