Celtic Knot 2019 aims to build on the success of the previous conferences. Speakers are encouraged to share their success stories and the challenges they have faced whilst helping to develop a small or minority language Wikipedia. Day 2 of the conference will feature an unconference which will allow people to pitch session ideas on the day. This will be a great way of putting together sessions which build on the themes and issues raised during the traditional conference program.
