Get ready for the conversations at the Wikimedia Summit 2024

Whether you are a long-standing participant or whether this is the first time you are attending a Wikimedia event, welcome! Below, we have assembled various resources we recommend and encourage you to explore in the days before the Wikimedia Summit. In order to make good use of our time together, we encourage you to engage with ressources about the two purposes of the event:

• Purpose 1: Bringing people together to make significant progress on the design of the future Wikimedia governance.
• Purpose 2: Discussing the future of global affiliate gatherings, because Wikimedia Summit 2024 will be the last of its kind.
