Registration for Wikimania 2025, happening in Nairobi, Kenya, and online, is now open! Join us from August 6 through August 9 as we celebrate 20 years of Wikimania.
This year, in-person capacity is slightly reduced, so we recommend registering early to guarantee your spot. Registration for the in-person event will be open until July 13th or while places remain. For the virtual experience on Eventyay, our open-source virtual event platform, you will be able to register at any time.
Activities in Nairobi will kick off on August 5th with a pre-conference day featuring multiple gatherings and social events, including a special convening for users with extended rights, the WikiWomen Summit, and cultural tours of the city and its surroundings for those interested in exploring Nairobi.
From August 6–9, the main conference will unfold across several venues within Gigiri, Nairobi, a small and safe neighborhood known for its international character and for bordering the beautiful Karura forest. Sessions, workshops, and meet-ups will all be within a short walk from each other.
Once you’re registered, you’ll receive all the details—full schedule, venue maps, and everything you need to make the most of your Wikimania experience.
