Registrations are now open for the first Wiki-conference to be held in India. It must be noted that the Wiki-conference will be held in the premises of Mumbai University from November 18th to November 20th, 2011. Entry will be opened to only registered delegates. So hurry up and get registered asap.
What is the Wiki Conference is about?
The Wiki Conference will act as a platform for the Indian Wikimedians and Wikipedians to interact and share their ideas and opinions on various issues such as the Indian language project on Wikipedia, and discuss various matters related to the Wikipedia community in India and abroad. Also this will help in attracting new talent and young minds to the world of Wikipedia.
So, if you’re interested in Wikipedia and the work it does, here’s a chance that you can know even more about it. All you need to do is get yourself registered for the conference and attend it.
Is there any Registration Charge?
Yes, there is a registration fee. But I would advise you to get it asap as there is a discount of 50% for the early birds. The Early birds limits to a particular no. of seat.
The whole fee structure as given on the wiki page:
- Early Birds: Rs 750 with a processing fee of Rs 25.
- Individual: Rs 1500 with a processing fee of Rs 50
- Institutional: Rs 5000 with a processing fee of Rs 170.
The fee includes the conference, attendee party, lunch on all days and teatime snacks on the first two days. There’s good news for those who are already a part of Wikimedia as there will be a 10% discount for them on the registration fee. However, this discount won’t be applicable on the processing fee. But, never mind that amount is almost negligible folks.
So, if you’re a Wiki enthusiast you may register here for getting your ticket for the event.
