The need-to-knows

Tickets for the in-person event in Nairobi are now sold out. We are blown away by the amazing response. Thanks to everyone who registered to join us in Nairobi, we can't wait to celebrate 20 years of Wikimania with you.

Please join us for the online event! Registration for the virtual event is free and will stay open until Wikimania. The Core Organizing Team is hard at work building a virtual event that will feature more interactive elements than ever before, with new opportunities to connect with one another, with speakers, and with the in-person audience. Hundreds of people have already registered to join virtually, and we want you to be there, too! Register now to be part of it.

If you received a scholarship from the Wikimedia Foundation, you will still be able to use your voucher code to register for the event free of charge, as your place has already been reserved.

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of Wikimania, in person and online

Activities in Nairobi will kick off on August 5th with a pre-conference day featuring multiple gatherings and social events, including a special convening for users with extended rights, the WikiWomen Summit, and cultural tours of the city and its surroundings for those interested in exploring Nairobi.

From August 6–9, the main conference will unfold across several venues within Gigiri, Nairobi, a small and safe neighborhood known for its international character and bordering the beautiful Karura forest. Sessions, workshops, and meet-ups will all be within a short walk from each other.

Once you're registered, you’ll receive all the details—full schedule, venue maps, and everything you need to make the most of your Wikimania experience.
