The first Big Fat Brussels Meeting in 2013

Annual Brussels Meet-Ups

The predecessor of Wikimedia Europe was the Free Knowledge Advocacy Group EU, which was established as a direct result of the very first Big Fat Brussels Meeting in 2013.

Since then, Wikimedians interested in public policy have gathered in Brussels, almost annually, to discuss and plan their advocacy activities.
