(Updated January 12, 2026) WikiCredCon will be held once again this year, from Friday, April 10 to Sunday April 12 in San Francisco, once again hosted by the Internet Archive and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Potential Themes for 2026

• Address content-gaps on English-language Wikipedia, including considering strategies like growing a more diverse community of editors by improving editor safety and inclusivity on the platform.
• Discuss and solicit feedback for the software tools that are being developed to help editors address credibility (e.g., Cite Unseen, Citation Watchlist), share updates about other ongoing credibility projects, and spark new WikiCred collaborations.
• Assess the impact of AI tools and other emerging technologies on Wikipedia editing, and update best practices when using AI for fact-checking.
• Consider the deprecation of reliable sources and identify ways to preserve government data and other public information.
• Identify emerging challenges to credibility and safety on the platform.

Invitees include Wikipedians, leadership from the Wikimedia Foundation, technology policy experts, much of the Internet Archive’s technology team, technology journalists from major publications in the United States and Europe and members of the Credibility Coalition.

Conference pre-planning is underway. Check back for more updates!
