Hi Wiki-Yorkers,
You are invited to join us next Sunday at Ace Hotel for Wikipedia Day NYC
2017, a Wikipedia celebration and mini-conference as part of the project's
global 16th birthday festivities.
In addition to the party, the event will be a participatory unconference,
with plenary panels, lightning talks, and of course open space sessions.
With special guests Katherine Maher of the Wikimedia Foundation and Tim Wu
of Columbia Law School speaking on our Post-truth panel!
Also featuring an International/Multilingual panel, a Documenting Activism
panel, a Multimedia/Tech Panel, a Science panel, an Art panel, and more.
And there will be cake :)

We also hope for the participation of our friends from the Free Culture
movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in
developing free knowledge projects.
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our
roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience!
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues!
