Please note that these three Clinics will be more useful for Wikimedians engaging in "organised work". That is, for Wikimedians that are part of a group or affiliate (either as volunteers or staff) that play the role of organising Movement activities (such as training, implementing education, or glam programs, partnerships, campaigns, etc) to bring more content and contributors to Wikimedia projects. This is different from Wikimedians that are more focused on their individual contributing work on-Wiki. Newcomer organisers, be they individuals or those that are part of emerging groups are very welcome.
Another session: Connectathon
