Marketplace per il networking

Il Marketplace è un elemento centrale del pomeriggio della Wikipedia Day. Gruppi impegnati, membri attivi e partner di cooperazione sono invitati a presentare se stessi e i loro progetti in uno stand. I programmi di Wikimedia CH offrono approfondimenti sul loro lavoro e sono disponibili a parlare face to face.
Lo stand è un semplice tavolo da conferenza. Spetta agli espositori decidere come progettarlo e cosa presentare. La partecipazione è gratuita. Chi è interessato è pregato di registrarsi sul events@wikimedia.ch. La scadenza per l’iscrizione è il 30 marzo 2024.
