Programme/Wiki Project Med

The Medicine Track at Wikimania will be all day on July 21, 2018 in Cape Town. Wiki Project Med Foundation is organizing the event with talks and discussions regarding what wiki community contributors have worked on in 2017/2018 and where Wikipedians are hoping to go next. The event is open to everyone, including hard core Wikipedians or those simply thinking about dipping their toes in the water.

It will take place during the second day of Wikimania 2018 at a venue 5 min walk from the main site. Specifically SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl. The room is the "Strand Room".
