In preparation for our 2014 bid, I think we should start thinking about what we can do in Hong Kong in 2013. We'll know by then whether our bid has been successful, but I think we should plan to take advantage of Wikimania 2013 either way. If you look at other big international events (eg. the Olympics) you'll see that it is common for delegations to organise their own side-events to take advantage of everyone being together. These events can help showcase your organisation and be excellent networking opportunities both with other delegations and locals. Wikimania tends not to see much like this going on, and I think WMUK should start changing that. I've created a page for us to brainstorms how to do that:
