Wiki Conference India 2016

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.
