Feeling unwell
If you feel unwell before you travel or are concerned about a possible exposure to an illness, you should not travel to Paris. We’d encourage any in person attendees who are feeling unwell (after having travelled), to remain in their hotel rooms and join the conference virtually.
There will be COVID tests available for all registered in-person attendees and we encourage self-testing if feeling unwell. Face masks and hand sanitizer will also be available.
If you are attending as a scholar, the limited medical insurance covers you for your approved arrival and departure dates, as per the Wikimedia Foundation Scholarship Travel Policy. Any additional personal travel will not be covered, so please ensure you have adequate additional coverage.
If you become ill and need assistance, please email illnesssupportwikimania
wikimedia.org during the event.
Use of flags
Wikimania is a global event, bringing together Wikimedians from all corners of the world. To maintain a neutral, inclusive, and respectful environment for all attendees, we request that national or political flags not be displayed in the group photo or at any conference booths or installations. For more information about photos, see the photography policy.
