Besides this i was able to Communicate with faculties from Brasil, South Africa those are Outside of Asia.

What did not work so well?

I had a plan to minimum 10 Participants for personal Communication in order to Outreach activities. But due to hard time management of conference i was able to communicate with 6 Participants for Outreach activities fruitfully.

What would you do differently next time?

I have plan to focus on Outreach activities by attending more Conference like this as this type of conference increase more Outreach collaboration as well promote the goals and objectives of Wikimedia Movement. Next time i am planning Online Edit-a-than + Workshop during this type of event which will create more involvement into the movement.
