WikiConference North America

The conference began in 2014 as WikiConference USA, first hosted at the New York Law School and the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C. It has received consistent support from the Wikimedia Foundation, as well as the Wiki Education Foundation, Wikimedia New York City, and Wikimedia District of Columbia. Though several annual conferences are associated with the Wikimedia movement, WikiConference North America is the only one with official Affiliate status. Previous conferences were held in New York City (2014), Washington D.C. (2015), San Diego (2016), Montreal (2017), and Columbus (2018). CredCon and MisinfoCon are the preeminent series of interdisciplinary credibility and misinformation conferences in the world. Hacks/Hackers and the Credibility Coalition have regularly held 150-person CredCon and MisinfoCon events in cities around the world, including: London; Kyiv; Austin, Texas; Washington, D.C.; Cambridge; and Scotland.
