In the Wikimedia movement, there are many '''events''' happening all around the world. This page records major events that happened in the past. Information about upcoming events can usually be found at [[events calendar]], [https://diff.wikimedia.org/calendar/ Diff calendar] or {{tl|Main Page/WM News}}.
''Other languages: [[Wikimedia auf Messen|German]] | [[Wikimédia France (manifestations)|French]]''


You may also want to check other international calendars of free culture events, such as the [https://foss.events/ foss.events], [https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events FSFE events calendar] and [https://lwn.net/Calendar/Monthly/cfp/ LWN CfP calendar].
One way of promoting the projects hosted by Wikimedia is to advertise them via stands at events. Running a stand, and offering information, or even the chance for visitors to edit the wikis, could open up the projects to a new audience.

If you know of a suitable event where a Wikimedia stand could be hosted, please add it to this page using the following template:

=== Research events ===
;What happens, if one is offered a stand at an event?
{{main|Research:Events}}
: Firstly, you must take into consideration the costs of the exhibition booth, and the work time of those who will run the stand. You need to consider whether it will bring any value. In addition, you must think about the goal of the event and what you want the visit to achieve.


== Regional conferences ==
;Is it enough to simply turn up?
=== WikiIndaba conferences ===
: No, it is not. You must be clear about your plans and about which equipment you will need, such as how many plug sockets and Internet connections are necessary, how many tables and chairs and other items you need. Computer equipment should be insured in advance.
{{main|Wiki Indaba}}
* [[WikiIndaba conference 2014]]: 19–22 June 2014, Johannesburg, South Africa

=== WikiArabia ===
;What material will I need?
{{main|WikiArabia}}
: The minimum is business cards with the Web address on them so that people can remember the site when they get home. Even at the smallest events, you should have, at a minimum, posters and the projects' [[logos]] displayed at your stand. You should also consider printing [[promotional leaflet]]s. On [[Promotion]] you can find a list of stuff others created for such events. See also [[Events/Checklist]].
* [[WikiArabia/2015|WikiArabia 2015]]: Monastir, Tunisia

=== WikiConference North America ===
;How do I behave at the event?
{{main|WikiConference North America}}
:You must have people to remain at the stand and answer queries. You need to attract people to the stand. Some try this with freebies such as pens or other one "give aways", others with "Events". You need to actively address the people there. Sitting down with a laptop will not be enough! One of the most interesting ways of presenting the projects to visitors is to give them the possibility to edit pages and make changes since the project will be new to many.

== Symposia==
{{Outdated}}
=== Wikipedia Academy ===
Wikipedia Academies are public outreach events, usually lasting one or two days, designed to coach academics and other subject matter experts in how to contribute to Wikipedia, as well as to encourage them to view Wikipedia as friendly. Often Wikipedia Academies are focused on encouraging contributions from a particular language or on a specific subject matter. Their purpose is to increase the quality and – to a lesser extent – quantity of articles in Wikipedia. Wikipedia Academies are normally staged as conferences, in a single location, for 80–200 people at a time. Typically, a Wikipedia Academy is organized by the local Wikimedia chapter together with a notably credible external partner organization which can provide subject matter expertise and authority. The reputation of the partner organization can help to ensure that the target group becomes interested in the event, and contact lists can be shared to maximize the impact on the target audience.

Symposia[edit]

Wikipedia Academy[edit]

Wikipedia Academies are public outreach events, usually lasting one or two days, designed to coach academics and other subject matter experts in how to contribute to Wikipedia, as well as to encourage them to view Wikipedia as friendly. Often Wikipedia Academies are focused on encouraging contributions from a particular language or on a specific subject matter. Their purpose is to increase the quality and – to a lesser extent – quantity of articles in Wikipedia. Wikipedia Academies are normally staged as conferences, in a single location, for 80–200 people at a time. Typically, a Wikipedia Academy is organized by the local Wikimedia chapter together with a notably credible external partner organization which can provide subject matter expertise and authority. The reputation of the partner organization can help to ensure that the target group becomes interested in the event, and contact lists can be shared to maximize the impact on the target audience.
