Welcome to the Wikimedia Hackathon 2025 registration!

The Wikimedia Hackathon is organized by the Wikimedia Foundation in collaboration with Wikimedia User Group Turkey (WMTR) and is taking place in-person in Istanbul, Turkey, from May 2nd to May 4th, 2025 at the Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel.

Registration will be open until mid April 2025 or until we reach event capacity. Each person that attends the Hackathon is required to register. We’ll have discounted room codes for those that want to stay at the hotel venue, to be announced in the coming weeks.

The Hackathon is primarily an onsite, in-person event. Those people who cannot attend the Hackathon in-person will be able to follow some of the program content online, but should not register with this form. More information will be provided closer to the event on how to participate remotely.

The Hackathon event is free for all to attend. Catering will be provided during the event and covid-related equipment (e.g. self test kits, masks) will be available upon request. By following the registration process, you will be able to book your free ticket for the Hackathon event. Participants are expected to book their own travel arrangements and accommodation in order to attend.

The information that you provide - while filling out this form - will not be shared publicly and will only be accessed by the Hackathon coordination team (WMF staff).

The registration application form runs on Pretix (a free, open-sourced third-party platform that helps organize and manage events) which may subject your data to additional terms. For more information on WMF’s privacy and data-handling for the Hackathon, please read the privacy statement.
