The first WikidataCon took place on October 28th-29th (+ social event on Friday 27th), in the Tagesspiegel venue, in Berlin. The event was full with 200 persons from all around the world, to celebrate Wikidata's 5th birthday and share knowledge and experience whithin the community.
With two days of talks, workshops, demos, meetups, and social events, the diverse and awesome people that belong to the Wikidata community were able to share their experiences, their favorite tools, learn from the others, discover new ways to create, enrich, reuse data from the free knowledge base. The program has been built through a call for projects, and more than 70 sessions have be held by community members. A welcoming party on the Friday evening and a birthday celebration also took place to bring the community together.
