April 20-24, 2016 Wikimedia Affiliates, members of the Wikimedia Foundation board and staff as well as the FDC and AffCom, please save the date! As in previous years, Wikimedia Deutschland will host the conference with the generous support of the Wikimedia Foundation. Today, we would like to share a few changes in the logistics and program design process with you that should help us all in making this conference even more productive and sustainable.

This is a hard deadline and we will not be able to allow any exceptions. Please support us in making this possible by choosing your representatives early! Looking forward to seeing many of you next week in Mexico. Feel free to reach out to me should you have questions or feedback. Nicole P. S.: We have just published the extensive grant report and evaluation survey for this year's Wikimedia Conference. It is really worth having a look, as it is not only visually appealing but also offers a lot of substantial content that can be used by our movement partners and provides learning opportunities for other event organisers and program leaders alike.
