Welcome to the meetup page for Chicago! If you are interested in Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects, regardless of your level of experience or involvement, you are invited and welcome.

Current meetup planning in Chicago is being conducted through Wikimedians of Chicago User Group, Art+Feminism, and Black Lunch Table.

Occasionally interested people (mostly Wikipedia editors) get together at various meeting points around the world to meet each other and have fun. Not only do you get to meet people you contribute with in real life, you also get to share what you know and see another side of people that you would otherwise not see. Overall, a meetup is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends.

Our most recent meetings include the 2026 Wikipedia Day celebration, commemorating Wikipedia's 25th anniversary. We also hosted a Women's History Month edit-a-thon in collaboration with local bookstore Skunk Cabbage Books, as well as a casual meetup at Bridgeport's Jackalope Coffee and Tea.
