Program

The program is now live. Speakers can refer to it to find the day, time and location of their session. All sessions will take place both in the in-person room at the venue, as well as livestreamed to eventyay and YouTube unless otherwise noted (sessions not livestreamed have a camera icon with a line through it).

Speakers can choose to present onsite in person, dial in to present remotely, submit a pre-recorded video of their session to be played, or a combination of these.

Speakers may continue to edit all session information on eventyay--you can update the session title, refine the description and abstract, add speakers, add supplementary material and more. Log in to eventyay and then visit https://wikimedia.eventyay.com/talk/wikimania2025/me/submissions/ to make edits to your accepted sessions.

Speakers in the Lightning Talk Showcase can refer to this page for additional information; speakers in the Poster Session can refer to this page for additional information.

Konferenciatermek

Speakers can review the details of the room where their session has been assigned on the Venue page.

You are free to use any presentation theme you like. We have prepared a slide deck template and set of assets that match this year's Wikimania branding. More design elements will continue to be added to this page as we get closer to the event. We encourage you to use these elements in your materials.

Speakers who are presenting in person should arrive at their room 15 minutes before their session begins. Speakers can approach the audio-visual production desk to ensure their slides are correctly loaded. The production team will run the slides.

Each room will also have a volunteer room manager that can help answer any questions or retrieve any supplies you might need.

When speaking, speakers will have a clicker to advance their slides, as well as a teleprompter for any presentation notes and a timer that will help them keep track of their remaining time.

Speakers who choose to do Q&A can take questions from the room; room assistants will run the mics and field any questions coming from the virtual attendees watching on eventyay.

Speakers who are pre-recording their sessions must do the following:

1. Log into eventyay and visit your sessions page.
2. Click into your session and scroll down to "How do you plan to deliver this session?" Select either "Pre-recorded, to be played in Nairobi and for the virtual audience" or "Pre-recorded followed by live Q&A" depending on your preference.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit "Save".
4. Use the filming tips below to film your video.
5. Upload your video to Commons and add the designated category.
6. Add your Commons link to eventyay on your session page under "Resources". Scroll down and hit "Save."

The due date for pre-recorded videos is Sunday 3 August end of day, anywhere on earth.

Expand for filming tips

Camera Settings for Android Touch the Settings icon. Choose Resolution & Quality, a mode and a camera. Choose a resolution or video quality setting from the list: 30 fps will look like standard video; 60 fps will make captured motion look very smooth. Choose the 16:9 ratio setting over 4:3. Camera Settings for iPhone/iPad On the iPhone, open Settings, then head to "Camera." From here, tap "Record Video," then choose any of the 4K options. Changing it here will switch it in the Camera app immediately. Select your frame rate: 30 fps will look like standard video; 60 fps will make captured motion look very smooth. If it helps, the Apple default is 30 fps. Choose the 16:9 ratio setting over 4:3. Camera Settings for Computer on Video Conferencing Application (such as Jitsi or Zoom) For further information, see Webcam recording. Open Jitsi or Zoom and press the record symbol. That is on the bottom of the screen. You can save it to your desktop or the cloud, whatever is more convenient for you. Keep in mind that you will have to send us the link of that video so remember where you save it to.

Expand for recording tips

If you are using a mobile phone, put your phone in airplane mode and shut down background apps to prevent interruptions. Do not film in a dark environment. Being in a well-lit environment makes all the difference in your video. White light vs. yellow light will capture better. Natural light is the best. If you are by a window, make sure to face the window, not away from it. Turn on any lights that can help light your face from the sides and behind you. Try to avoid using flash. Clean your camera lens. Use an eyeglass cloth if you have one; do not use disposable tissue (especially one with lotion). Make sure there are no distracting background noises or activity. Make sure you are in a quiet area. Do your best to turn off any fans, air conditioners, TVs, or anything else that is projecting noise. Make sure you have at least one clip with clear flow and a beginning and ending cadence. Send us your best video, usually it will take 3 takes to get the best one. Landscape If you are filming with your phone make sure you are filming in a landscape orientation. This will ensure your video doesn’t have black empty spaces on the side. Your video will take up more of the screen and people will be able to see you better. Framing Now that you're recording in the proper orientation, completely fill the frame with your subject. Make sure your head is not being cut by the camera, there must be space between the top and bottom of your head and the screen. You will need to make sure you are not too close to the camera. Stabilizing and Smooth Footage If recording with a smartphone try to remember to do the following: Keep the phone close to your body. Rest your elbows on a nearby object for stability. Use your body to absorb bounces and shakes. Try and prop your phone so that it stays still, if you have a tripod or phone mount, even better.

Watch your video(s) and make sure the audio sounds good, and that the lighting looks good too. Don't be afraid to reshoot and do it again.

All speakers will dial in to present via Zoom. This is to ensure the most stable, reliable connection for speakers and the most straightforward user experience.

All virtual speakers will receive a Zoom link to join in the days before the event. Speakers should plan to join the Zoom 15 minutes before their session starts to do testing with the audio-visual team.

When joining the Zoom, you will be greeted by someone from the team. You will not be live at that point. The team will complete your testing and will then indicate to you when you will be live.

As a virtual speaker, you will be able to see the physical room while you are presenting. If you'd like to have a Q&A at the end of your session, a room attendant will run the mic around the room for you and will voice any questions that have come in from virtual attendees watching in eventyay. You will be able to hear anyone speaking into the mic.

You should be prepared to share your own slides from within the Zoom as this will allow you more control advancing your slides.

You may use the Zoom chat to communicate with the production team during your session. This chat will not be public.

Before your session, please ensure the following:

1. Ensure you are in a place with stable internet connection. If you are worried about connectivity, you can pre-record your session following the instructions in the previous section. You may still dial in to do live Q&A following a pre-recorded session if time permits. Please just ensure you select this option on your eventyay session page under "How do you plan to deliver this session?" That way we will know to expect you dialing in.
2. Headphones: Use headphones to eliminate echo and sound disturbances. Test the headphones beforehand to ensure sound quality is good.
3. Camera setup: Please position your camera so that it is not directly facing a light source, which will improve the image quality.

The speaker guidebook is available on Commons. It has important tips for everything from building your slides to public speaking to optimizing for virtual, in-person or hybrid sessions.

A speaker support session with important tips and tricks is available to watch on Commons. Sessions covered presentation basics and what to expect in terms of event logistics.

• Wednesday July 23 at 13:00 UTC. Session recording.
