Event update: Postponed

Due to the January 28 snowstorm, Wikipedia Day NYC 2026 was rescheduled.

It was a disappointment and an inconvenience for many, but we made this decision to ensure attendees, speakers, partners, volunteers and organizers can travel to and from the event safely.

On the bright side, we’ll use the extra time to fine-tune the event and make Wikipedia Day NYC even better for everyone.
