Hybrid elements
We are basing the hybrid Wikimania off learnings from previous virtual Wikimanias as well as other virtual community events. There will be on demand content submitted ahead of time that viewers can watch at their convenience. Presenters who can’t make it to Singapore can deliver their session virtually to an audience in Singapore and online. Many sessions will have a mix of in person/virtual panels and discussions. All sessions that have permissions will be recorded.
Eventyay - our virtual platform
Eventyay is open source and will host registration for in person and virtual attendees. Live interpretation for a number of tracks will go through the platform directly. Languages are: English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Chinese and Indonesian. Attendees will be able to chat and interact on the platform. Please register whether you are planning to attend in person or virtually!
Side events
There will be a number of optional side events happening throughout Singapore that attendees can sign up for.
- Google event on Tuesday the 15th
- Various pre conference meet ups at Suntec on Tuesday the 15th
- National Library event on Sunday the 20th
- Other general tours about Singapore heritage, culture, sustainability and gardens.
- These will be added to the wiki this week so people can sign up via eventbrite
Meals for attendees

Volunteers and scholars
Alongside working staff, we will have a large group of volunteer roles to help make the event a success. We are working with the National Youth Award Association in Singapore and 50 or so of their volunteers will be on site. We’ve also asked scholars to lend a few hours of their time during the event to support with volunteer activities.

皆で集まる - 互いを尊重する
We have many people coming from all over the world, be respectful, welcoming and kind to each other. Be mindful of others and their own space - some may hug, some may shake hands - test it out or ask. Be mindful of other cultural practices around meals, prayers, use of alcohol etc. Some people may be shy or overwhelmed at times - we have quiet spaces and members of staff to help. There will be jetlag - but also plenty of great coffee to help! Be respectful of different energy levels. There are shared spaces in Suntec - be respectful, take turns and let’s make space for everyone!
