Dear Wikidata Community, Wikimania 2025 is fast approaching! This year, we are thrilled to celebrate Wikimania at 20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability. Join us in Nairobi, Kenya, from 6–9 August 2025 (with a pre-conference on 5 August) to mark two decades of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation.
We invite you to submit your program proposals by 31 March 2025. These proposals can take various forms—remote live presentations, pre-recorded videos, or on-site sessions in Nairobi. Given Wikidata’s role as a cornerstone of open data and knowledge-sharing, we encourage your submissions. To help spark ideas, here are a few topics that may align with the conference theme: ● Strategies to broaden global participation in Wikidata editing, or case studies on improving accessibility of Wikidata content. ● Examples of impactful projects leveraging Wikidata to solve real-world problems, such as improving access to local knowledge or supporting humanitarian efforts. ● Discussions on sustainable ways to maintain, improve, and expand the Wikidata ecosystem or its integration into Wikimedia projects. To submit your proposal, please visit: Wikimania 2025 Program Submission Site : https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2025:Program . For inquiries, comments, or assistance with your proposal, please email [email protected]. Our team of dedicated volunteers will be happy to guide you. Additionally, to support you in developing your proposals, the Programme Subcommittee will host a consultation hour: 📅 Today, Thursday, 20 March 🕐 13:00 UTC (Find your local time at https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742475600) 🌐 Video Call Link: https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/84172058297 💬 Live Interpretation Available in Arabic, French, and Swahili Let’s make Wikimania 2025 a memorable celebration of inclusivity, impact, and sustainability!
