What to expect?
The Wikimedia Summit is the place for Affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation to come together to discuss the future of the Wikimedia Movement. The Wikimedia Summit 2024 will focus on how the Movement is governed: how and at what level we make decisions about money, technology, strategy, and affiliates, and how that is written in the movement charter.
This year, an engagement process composed of a series of online events was introduced to prepare the work that will happen in Berlin and enable everyone to meaningfully participate during the Wikimedia Summit.
The Future of the Wikimedia Summit
The Wikimedia Summit 2024 will be the last of its kind. Wikimedia Deutschland is ready to hand the event over to the affiliates to design future gatherings based on their needs, interests and opportunities. We are hoping for an affiliate gathering that is aligned more with movement strategy, allows for more equitable participation, with an engaging program designed by the participants. Wikimedia Deutschland gathered some pretty clear data on the preferences for content, focus and formats of these future events via an affiliate survey.
The results of the affiliate survey can be found in this slide deck.
More information about the future of affiliate gatherings can be found on this meta page.
