I am back in Dhaka after attending Wiki
Conference India 2016 happened in Chandigarh City of India. It was a three days
conference and I received a scholarship from Wikimedia Foundation to attend it.
The venue was Chandigarh Group of Colleges. It has a large, nice campus and I
really loved the hospitality of the organizers. It was a significant experience
for me for acquiring knowledge and meeting fellow wikimedians from many parts
of the world. I got the opportunity to meet Katherine Maher, Executive Director of Wikimedia
Foundation along with many other important people from Wikimedia Foundation.

Some
significant sessions that I attended are the Wiki Data session with Asaf Bartov,
Senior Program Officer, Emerging Wikimedia Communities, Wikimedia Foundation. I
was a big learning session for me. Also, I liked the photography session
conducted by Zack.
