I believe this Wikimania will be different. Our videos will be higher quality, and livestreamed and uploaded same day by a dedicated team. The videos will be broadcast by our media partners. We have a larger number of featured speakers who have their own audiences, that will attract people to the rest of the video content. The livestreams will be promoted via a centralnotice. Finally, the event itself is simply much larger.
