Part celebration and part conference, the Wikipedia Day 18th Birthday Bash was held on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at the Ace Hotel New York and hosted by
Wikimedia NYC. One of a number of
Wikipedia Days worldwide, the day featured keynote presentations, breakout group discussions, lightning talks and yes, cake. Wikimedia NYC is especially interested in seeing newcomers join experienced Wikipedians/Wikimedians on this day, so step right up.
Participation is free, but limited based on capacity. First come.
Participation: Participation (food and cake!) will be free, with room for ~100 participants
Welcome: All are welcome. We are especially interested in seeing newcomers to join the experienced Wikipedians/Wikimedians. We also hope for the participation of our friends from the
Free Culture movement and from cultural institutions interested in developing
Open Education projects.
Code of Conduct: All attendees must agree to follow and our subject to Wikimedia NYC's
Code of Conduct.
Food:Ace Hotel's own restaurant The Breslin will provide a coffee, bagel, and fruit breakfast and a lunch suitable for vegans and omnivores. And it wouldn't be much of a birthday without cake, so we'll have plenty of that too.
Wikipedia Day is free to attend and welcome to all! Please consider supporting its success by donating your time or funds to cover expenses such as food and travel scholarships (be sure to write "Wikipedia Day" in the notes!). If you take photos at the event, please consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons, being sure to add the Category:Wikipedia Day 18 NYC.
