Once a year,
Hundreds of participants from around the globe,
Meet at the central conference of the Wikimedia movement
to create a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Wikimania is the annual international conference of the Wikimedia community. It's organized by a different local team each year – in 2011 the conference was taking place in Haifa, Israel. Wikimania allows the community and the general public to learn about and share their experiences with free knowledge initiatives all over the world.

The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005), Boston, USA (2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt (2008), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2009) and Gdańsk, Poland (2010). (2011).
