SMWCon

SMWCon, or the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, was an annual gathering for users, developers, and enthusiasts of Semantic MediaWiki, including corporate users, academics and others, occurring between 2010 and 2023.

From 2016 to 2023, it was held in Europe in the fall. From 2010 to 2015, SMWCon was a twice-annual event, also occurring in the spring in North America; in 2016, the North American event was renamed the Enterprise MediaWiki conference, or EMWCon. In 2024, it was succeeded by the MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference, which effectively merged EMWCon and SMWCon into the same conference.
