The Wikimedia Summit 2024 was the last of its kind. In the spirit of the Movement Strategy 2030, Wikimedia Deutschland is handing over the responsibility of organising future affiliate gatherings to other movement stakeholders, to design these events in a
more equitable way, with a purpose based on the needs and interests of the affiliates. In this session we invite stakeholders who expressed interest in taking over the responsibility of conceptualising and possibly organising these future events to consult with their peers and discuss the next steps.

Collaborate with the Regional Grants Committees is a session that will delve into the pivotal role of the Wikimedia Regional Grants Committees. We will explore the committees’ functions, the grant application process, and the challenges and lessons learned, fostering an environment of shared knowledge and mutual support.
