Wikimania 2019 costs
Hello Wikimania community,

I'm applying for non-WMF funding to go to Wikimania. Can we have an
indication from the organising team on what the costs of this year's
Wikimania (registration and accommodation) are likely to be, so I can put
down an amount for my funding application?

Hi Deryck,

I would advise you to reach out directly to Irene Tait (itait@wikimania.org)
for this kind of questions, or look continuously on the Wikimania wiki (
wikimania.org), where we are working as hard as we can to provide all
information needed.

Best,

Re: Wikimania 2019 costs [ In reply to ]
Hi:

I live in Stockholm now. Let me know if anyone needs my help with finding
housing, or giving you some approximate of costs per day for certain
things. Looking forward to a reunion with people I met at Wikimania London
and Mexico City.

If anyone wants to reach out to me to discuss their extended trip or for
anything else, let me know. I’ll be preparing a housing spreadsheet for
those coming from London and perhaps it can help anyone who needs to show
options for non Wikimania funded travel.


Kind Regards:

Hi Nauseen,

That's so nice of you. I am in London and planning to come, I'll probably
be the first one to contact you for guidance.

Eric - that address for Irene doesn't work. Would you please check that
you've given the correct address?

Re: Wikimania 2019 costs [ In reply to ]
Hey Deryck (and others with the same question),

Thanks for posing this. I can't give you any hard numbers to put down in
your application, as we're still in the planning stages for this Wikimania.
More info about the exact prices of Wikimania will be available when
registration goes live sometime in the late spring.

What I can tell you now is that registration costs will likely be similar
to Cape Town, but will be raised slightly due to Stockholm's more expensive
nature. As for the hotel, we will be offering a similar booking situation
as last year, where we partner with a hotel that provides a number of rooms
at a discounted rate when booked using a specific code or via a specific
link - those rates will likely be between 1250 and 1350 SEK a night.

Thanks much,

Irene Tait

Re: Wikimania 2019 costs [ In reply to ]
Dear Irene (and the rest of the Wikimania team),

Are we talking about 1250-1350 SEK per person per night, or per room
(presumably two people) per night?

Hey Deryck,

The 1250-1350 SEK is per room per night.

Thanks,

Irene
