Wikimania is the annual international conference of the Wikimedia community. Wikimania allows the community of Wikipedians, and the general public to learn more about Wikipedia and / or wiki technologies in general, and share their experiences face to face with free knowledge initiatives and events all over the world. Wikimania is organized by a different local WikimaniaTeam each year. In 2012, the Wikimania conference took place in Washington, D.C., and the 2013 conference was hosted by Hong Kong. London was the home of the 2014 gathering. The 2015 event took place in Mexico, whilst the 2016 meet-up was in Italy. The 2017 meet was held in Canada, 2018 was in South Africa. The last real meet was in 2019 in Sweden. For the 2020 meet, Thailand was proposed, however, this event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. The 2021 meet was a virtual online event, due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, as was the 2022 event. The next conference due in 2023 is scheduled to be held in the city state of Singapore, whilst the 2024 event is penned for Poland.

Wikimania is funded primarily by the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF); with further additional funding from other local, national, and international sponsors.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. (WMF), founded 20 June 2003, is the wiki company and non-profit charitable organization[1] responsible for a very large number (over 900 in total) of very active collaborative user-generated wiki sites, which are grouped together by primary subject and known as a 'project'; as well as the wiki engine software initially developed by themselves, known as MediaWiki. The Wikimedia Foundations' major wiki projects started with Wikipedia (encyclopedia), and subsequently expanded to include Wiktionary (dictionary and thesaurus), Wikiquote (quotations), Wikibooks (open content textbooks), Wikisource (free content primary-source and secondary-source texts), Wikinews (news source), Wikiversity (open learning community), Wikispecies (free species directory), and many others as listed below. Most of these 'projects' have separate wiki site versions written in many different languages. There is also the Wikimedia Commons (shared multilingual repository for documents, images, videos, and other media and text files), and the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (multilingual coordination of issues common to all Wikimedia projects). The Wikimedia Foundations' global reach is nurtured in its Incubator, where all new language versions for all projects are initiated and developed before being launched as a new separate wiki site. The Foundations' most recent major multi-language wiki project, Wikivoyage (a 'travelpedia'), was inducted to WMF in late 2012 (having being independently established in 2006). Also launched in 2012 was Wikidata (a major multilingual central space knowledge base for structured data used on all WMF projects). The newest WMF project is Wikifunctions, launched in mid 2023, is a library of code functions in many different programming languages.

Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). Furthermore, the Wikimedia Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, granted April 2005, and headquartered at 1 Montgomery Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco County, State of California 94104, United States of America.[2]
