Hello everyone,
I’m writing with a general update from the Core Organizing Team
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Organizers>.
Following our meeting this month in Singapore, where we worked on event
strategy, planning and early on-the-ground preparations, we would like to
share a general timeline with you:
-
By now, all scholarship applicants should have received communications
regarding the status of their scholarship application. If you applied but
have not received a message, you can email
wikimania-scholarships@wikimedia.org. We encourage those who did not
receive a scholarship to register for and attend the virtual Wikimania.
There also may be some affiliates still offering scholarships, so check
with your local affiliate.
-
Registration for Wikimania will open in June. We will be communicating
it broadly when registration opens so you won’t miss it!
-
The Programming Subcommittee
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program_Subcommittee> is hard
at work selecting sessions and building the program. Program applicants
will hear during the month of June about whether their session has been
selected. We will aim to communicate about this as close to the start of
the month as possible. However, there is a lot of work still to be done, so
please avoid reaching out to inquire about the status of your application
until the end of the month as we are dealing with a large volume of
inquiries at this time.
-
Most of you have likely seen that the conference will be held at the Suntec
Convention Centre
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suntec_Singapore_Convention_and_Exhibition_Centre>.
Our opening ceremony will be at Suntec, and our closing party at Gardens
by the Bay <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardens_by_the_Bay>. We will
also be offering outings and activities around Singapore on the *15th*
(Tuesday) and *20th* *August* (Sunday) for those interested. More
information on that to come.
-
We have updated the Wikimania Wiki
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Wikimania>(wikimania.org) to
reflect these dates.
For all inquiries and suggestions, kindly write to us at
wikimania@wikimedia.org.
Kind regards,
*Butch Bustria*
