Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal): As we write this, we are most of the way through March 2017, and thus the fourth annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Editathon. Over the course of the last four years, organizers on all six inhabited continents have held 500+ events which have brought together thousands of editors, who in turn have created thousands of articles. We are proposing a meetup that will bring together organizers from around the world to meet each other in person, often for the first time.

What will attendees take away from this session?: This will provide an opportunity to build new friendships and partnerships amongst the existing Art+Feminism community, and an opportunity for the larger Wikimedia community to learn more about participating in the campaign. We held a similar event at Wikicon USA in Washington DC, and many of the US based organizers met for the first time; we hope that we can achieve this with the international organizers.
Theme of presentation: WikiCulture & Community

For workshops and discussions, what level is the intended audience?: All audiences

Length of session (if other than 25 minutes, specify how long): 50 minutes

Will you attend Wikimania if your submission is not accepted?: Some of us will, but maybe not all of us.
