The 1st Wiki-Conference New York will be held over the weekend of July 25-26 2009 (confirmed!) at New York University, and hosted by Free Culture @ NYU and Wikimedia New York City.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales will be giving a keynote, and we will also have a second keynote speaker TBA. Since this is an unconference, participants are encouraged to give your own ideas for topic sessions! This is a also great opportunity for people who aren't so wiki-savvy to get a fun introduction. All are most certainly welcome. Oh yeah, and we're having the Central Park picnic again too!
