Wikimania – the Wikimentary, documentary about Wikimania 2005, featuring Jimmy Wales and Ward Cunningham

Wikimania 2005, the first Wikimania conference, was held from August 4 to 8, 2005 at the Haus der Jugend in Frankfurt, Germany, attracting about 380 attendees.[1]

The week of the conference included four "Hacking Days", from August 1 to 4, when some 25 developers gathered to work on code and discuss the technical aspects of MediaWiki and of running the Wikimedia projects. The main days of the conference, despite its billing as being "August 4–8", were Friday to Sunday of that week, from August 5 to 7. Presentation sessions were scheduled all day during those three days.

Keynote speakers included Jimmy Wales, Ross Mayfield, Ward Cunningham, and Richard Stallman (who spoke on "Copyright and community in the age of computer networks"). The majority of sessions and conversations were in English, although a few were in German.

Sponsors of the event included Answers.com, SocialText, Sun Microsystems, DocCheck,[23] and Logos Group.

Wikimania 2006, the second Wikimania conference, was held from August 6 to 8, 2006 at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for Internet & Society in Cambridge in Massachusetts, United States, with about 400[2]–500[24] attendees.

Speakers included Wales, Lawrence Lessig, Brewster Kahle, Yochai Benkler, Mitch Kapor, Ward Cunningham, and David Weinberger. Dan Gillmor held a citizen journalism unconference the day after.

Wales' plenary speech was covered by the Associated Press, and printed in numerous worldwide newspapers. He chronicled how the Foundation evolved from him "sitting in his pajamas" to the maturing corporate structure that it is now; the frequent push for quality over quantity; Wikipedia will be included on computers distributed through One Laptop per Child; both Wikiversity and the creation of an advisory board were approved by the Foundation board; and that Wiki-WYG is in development thanks to private investment by Wikia, Inc. and Socialtext.[25]

Answers.com was the Wikimania 2006 patron sponsor, while Amazon.com, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, Nokia, WikiHow were Benefactors-level sponsors, Wetpaint, Ask.com, Yahoo!, and Socialtext were Friends-level sponsors, and IBM, FAQ Farm, Elevation Partners, One Laptop per Child, and the Sunlight Foundation were Supporter-level sponsors of the conference.[26]

Three other teams submitted hosting bids, for the cities of London, Milan, Boston, and Toronto; only Toronto and Boston were passed to the second round of consideration by Wikimania organizers. In Toronto's case, the event would have been hosted in the University of Toronto's Bahen Centre.

As announced on September 25, 2006, Wikimania 2007,[27] the third Wikimania conference, was held from August 3 to 5, 2007 in Taipei, Taiwan. It was the first Wikimania event to hold a volunteer training course.[28]

Three other teams submitted hosting bids, for the cities of London, Alexandria, and Turin. Bids for Hong Kong, Singapore, Istanbul, and Orlando failed to make the shortlist.[29] The winner was announced on September 25, 2006.[27]

On August 3, 2007, New York Times reporter Noam Cohen wrote: "The conference has attracted about 440 attendees, a little more than half from Taiwan, who want to immerse themselves for three days in the ideas and issues that come up making an entirely volunteer-written encyclopedia.[3] The workshops cover practical topics like how to collaborate peacefully; what importance to give 'expertise' in a project that is celebrated for allowing anyone to contribute, including anonymous editors".[3]

2008

Wikimania 2008, the fourth Wikimania conference, was held from July 17 to 19, 2008 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt, with 650 attendees from 45 countries.[4] Alexandria was the location of the ancient Library of Alexandria.[30] Three proposed cities were in the running at the end, the other two being Atlanta and Cape Town. Proposals for Karlsruhe, London and Toronto were also submitted, but later withdrew. There was a controversy about the conference, and even a call to boycott Wikimania 2008 because of Egypt's alleged censorship and imprisoning of bloggers during Mubarak's era.[31][32] Mohamed Ibrahim, a graduate of Alexandria University who worked to bring the conference to Alexandria, told the BBC "I think we have the right to develop and to make freedom of expression on a larger scale."[33] One of his goals was to help grow Arabic Wikipedia which he contributes to since early 2005. An Egyptian cabinet minister spoke at the opening ceremonies on Mubarak's behalf.[30]

2009

The fifth Wikimania conference was held at the Centro Cultural General San Martín from August 26 to 28, 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 559 attendees.[34] The city was selected over other bids from Brisbane, Karlsruhe, and Toronto.

With keynotes from Richard Stallman and Jimmy Wales, the conference included a Wikimania Codeathon (hackathon) and an informal Chapters' meeting. It was organized in two scopes: Casual and Academic tracks, each comprising the same four themes: Wikimedia Communities, Free Knowledge, Latin American challenges, and Technical infrastructure.

2010

The sixth Wikimania conference was held from July 9 to 11 at the Polish Baltic Philharmonic in Gdańsk, Poland. The starting day on July 9 overlapped with the end of the WikiSym academic conference. Bids for Amsterdam and Oxford lost by a small margin.[6] Wikimania 2010 was the first conference which included a big focus on the cultural aspects of the hosting nation, particularly a concert of a philharmonic orchestra, celebrating the tenth anniversary of the death of the most important contemporary Polish composer Władysław Szpilman and the premiere of the film Truth in Numbers?. At the conference, WMF executive director Sue Gardner said the foundation aimed to grow the number of visitors to Wikimedia sites from 371 million to 680 million a month, over the next five years.

Workshops at Wikimania 2011

Wikimania 2011, the seventh Wikimania conference, was held from August 4 to 7, 2011 in Haifa, Israel.[35] The conference venue was the Haifa Auditorium and adjoining Beit Hecht cultural center on Mount Carmel. Keynote speakers at the conference included Yochai Benkler, a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and Joseph M. Reagle Jr. of MIT, author of Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia.[36] Head of the Science and Technology Committee at the Knesset, Meir Sheetrit, also spoke at the conference, as did Yonah Yahav, the Mayor of Haifa.[37] One of the sponsors of the event was Haifa University.[38] The conference featured 125 sessions in five simultaneous tracks and was attended by 720 Wikimedians[35] from 56 different countries,[37] including some that have no diplomatic relations with Israel.[39]

In an interview with Haaretz, Wales noted that there had been boycott calls against the conference in Israel, as there had been against having it in Egypt in 2008. He said that despite conflicts among editors on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and efforts by a pro-Israel group to recruit more Wikipedia editors, he believes Wikipedia articles largely remained neutral on the topic; he stated "NPOV is non-negotiable."[40]

Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner spoke to the conference about the Western, male-dominated mind-set characterizing Wikipedia.[41] At the end of the August 7 closing ceremony, Wales was presented with the first day cover of the first-ever Wikimedia-related postal stamp,[35] issued by the Israeli postal service in honor of the event.[42] Among new projects discussed was collaboration with cultural institutions such as galleries, libraries, archives and museums.[43]

After the conference, participants were offered a free tour of Haifa, Jerusalem, Nazareth or Acre. Shay Yakir, outgoing chairman of Wikimedia Israel, said that for Israel, holding the conference in Haifa was like hosting the Olympic Games.[44]

Wikimania 2012, the eighth Wikimania conference, was held from July 12 to 15, 2012 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with over 1,400 attendees from 87 countries.[45] In conjunction with the conference, the U.S. Department of State hosted Tech@State:Wiki.Gov, which focused on "collaborative knowledge and the use of wikis in the public sector".[46] Prominent conference themes were the need to update the old and "dowdy" interface[47] with new Wikimedia tools in order to attract and retain more editors and to make Wikimedia sites more inviting and friendly to users, including especially women.[48] The Atlantic featured charts displayed at the conference which showed how the number of new administrators has dropped precipitously over the last few years.[49]

During the opening plenary, Wales commented on Wikipedia blackout of January 2012, stating "When I go and visit government officials now, they're a little bit afraid." However he reiterated Wikimedia's commitment to political neutrality except regarding "the most serious things that directly impact our work."[50][51] Wales agreed with keynote speaker Mary Gardiner, co-founder of the Ada Initiative, that Wikimedia had to do more to increase the number of women editors. She said, "As a project of social change, even if it's not an activist project, the Wikipedia community has a responsibility both to its mission and to the people out there in the world to always be on a journey toward diversity — to increase the size of the umbrella of the world."[52][53]

2016

2016 summary

Wikimania 2016, the twelfth Wikimania conference, took place from June 24 to 26, 2016, with peripheral events from June 21 to 28, in the mountain village of Esino Lario, Italy.[68] Esino Lario had bid unsuccessfully for the 2015 Wikimania. The other candidate city that bid for the 2016 hosting was Manila, Philippines. The venue is the first that is not a major city and plenary sessions are in the outdoor venue. During the event, it was announced that the Wikimedia Foundation's interim executive director Katherine Maher was appointed permanently.

From 2015 to 2016, the Wikimedia Foundation ran a consultation with the Wikimedia community about the future of Wikimania, with an outcome that supported experimenting with the conference being "held every other year." At the Esino Lario conference, the Future of Wikimania session saw strong opposition to this idea, and Wikimania would continue to be annual.[69][70]

2017

Wikimania 2017, the thirteenth Wikimania conference, was held at Le Centre Sheraton Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from August 9 to 13, 2017.[71][72] The event was held in Canada during its sesquicentennial anniversary and in Montreal during its 375th anniversary.[73] The first two days included WikiConference North America. Key activities includes discussion on the future direction of the Wikimedia movement under through Wikimedia 2030 strategy. The event also made emphasis on the role of libraries, cultural institutions, and the preservation of indigenous languages, prominently featuring discussions on the Atikamekw Wikipedia project and celebrating collaborative GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) initiatives. Pre-conference activities include archives tour and scan-a-thon organized in partnership with the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ); held at the BAnQ Vieux-Montréal, where it allowed participants to physically engage with and digitize precious historical materials, including endangered mid-century negatives illustrating the lives of First Nations communities, contributing to the preservation and open accessibility of regional heritage on Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource.

Wikimania 2018, the fourteenth Wikimania conference, was held in Cape Town, South Africa, from July 18 to 22, 2018 at the Cape Sun Southern Sun Hotel. It was the first time the event was held in Sub-Saharan Africa and having an event theme. The theme was "Bridging Knowledge gaps: the Ubuntu way forward"[74] with the aim of focusing discussion on building shared strategies to bridge the collective knowledge gaps.

2019

Wikimania 2019, the fifteenth Wikimedia conference, was held in Stockholm, Sweden, from August 14 to 18, 2019, at the Stockholm University, with an attendance of over 800.[16][75] The event centered around the theme Stronger Together: Wikimedia, Free Knowledge and the Sustainable Development Goals. As part of the movement's sustainability initiative, The Wikimedia Sverige and the Wikimedia Foundation decided to pay half of the carbon offsetting cost. Terrapass, sponsored the other half of the offsetting for the conference. The Wikimedia Coolest Tool Award was inaugurated in this conference.[76]

2020–2022

The sixteenth Wikimania conference was scheduled to be held in Bangkok from August 5 to 9, 2020,[77] coinciding with the 15th anniversary of the event. In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Maher announced a postponement until 2021.[78] On January 28, 2021, WMF chief operating officer Janeen Uzzell announced Wikimania would be moving to a virtual event as the ongoing pandemic affected planning for an in-person event.[79] The 2021 edition took place between August 13 and 17, 2021.[80] The scheduled in-person event would have been hosted by Wikimedia ESEAP (East, Southeast Asia and the Pacific), a first time for a regional collaborative. It was going to be the third time it was to be held in Asia and first for Southeast Asia. It was decided that ESEAP would be given a chance to host Wikimania's next in-person edition.[81]

Wikimania 2022 was again an online event but with the waning of the pandemic some cities had in-person events. Officially themed "The Festival Edition," marked a transitional moment by embracing a hybrid format that combined a central virtual program with several vibrant in-person satellite events scattered across the globe. This localized approach allowed contributors to reconnect and celebrate free knowledge face-to-face in their own regions. In Africa, multi-day meetups, edit-a-thons, and training workshops in cities like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Lagos brought both veteran editors and newcomers together. Wikimedia México hosted a multi-day watch party in Cuernavaca and Xalapa complete with community barbecues, and a lively reprise of the mariachi band from the previous year. Adding a nostalgic touch, the Italian community return to Esino Lario, where Wikimania 2016 happened for a weekend of online session streaming, local museum tours, traditional alpine picnics, and shared meals.

2023

Wikimania 2025, twentieth edition, took place from August 6 to 9, 2025, marking the first time the global conference was hosted in East Africa. Organized by the Wikimedia East Africa Regional and Thematic Hub (Wikimedia EARTH) as a hybrid event physically based in Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme Wikimania@20: Inclusivity. Impact. Sustainability.[19] The four-day event celebrated Wikimania's 20th anniversary, featuring sessions that tackled reducing knowledge and gender gaps, the intersection of open knowledge and artificial intelligence, and strategies for fostering resilient, localized contributor communities worldwide. It also inaugurated the Users with Extended Rights Convening, a specialized gathering brought together critical community members who hold high-trust roles such as administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards. Throughout the convening, participants focused heavily on supporting frontline volunteers by discussing key issues like user safety, privacy protocols, the development of more effective moderation tools, cross-wiki collaboration, and strategies for the long-term sustainability of these essential positions.[92]

2026

Wikimania 2026, the twenty-first edition, will be held in Paris, France. It will be organized by Wikimédia France in partnership with WikiFranca.[21] Part of the gathering is the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the pioneer Wikipedias.
