Wikimania, the flagship event of the Wikimedia movement, has been a beacon of open collaboration since 2005. This forum will delve into the milestones achieved and the challenges faced, reflecting on the lessons learned from past conferences, highlight the significant contributions of volunteers, the impact of community partnerships and volunteer relationships that have been integral to Wikimania’s success.

The session aims to engage participants in a dialogue on shaping the future of Wikimania, inviting ideas and perspectives on how the conference can continue to serve as a dynamic platform for the free knowledge ecosystem.
