2025:Exchange Corner
You’re welcome to use this space if you plan to bring something from your country (or another country) to Wikimania 2025 in Nairobi, and would like to exchange it with others!
If you’re bringing something, please add your name to the table below along with the items you’re offering. If you're interested in meeting someone to exchange or collect items in person, feel free to sign up in the last column. You can also mention specific items you're hoping to give, receive, or swap.
This is a fun way to build meaningful global connections and make the most of this year's Wikimania experience!
