Good morning all
I'm pleased to confirm that this year's Wikimedia UK AGM will be taking
place on *Saturday 14th July* at the Flett Lecture Theatre, the Natural
History Museum, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2HF.
The detailed schedule for the day <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/2018_AGM> is
currently being finalised. But we will start the event at 10:30am with
talks and workshops from 11am, including a keynote speech from the
Campaigns Director of Liberty, Corey Stoughton, a look at our work with the
Welsh Government from Welsh Digital Language Specialist, Gareth Morlais,
and an introduction to the challenges and successes of the Natural History
Museums' new Data Portal <http://data.nhm.ac.uk/> with Helen Hardy.
The actual AGM order of business is scheduled for 3 pm - 4.30 pm, but we
would encourage you to come and stay for the whole day. All volunteers,
editors and partners are welcome, but only members will be eligible to vote
on AGM matters.
To attend, you must please let us know you're coming. The registration page
