March 2013 WMUK media event
On 5th March 2013 TechHub at Campus London is hosting a media event where journalists can meet Jimmy Wales and some of the Wikimedia volunteers to learn more about some of the awesome projects being worked on, such as Wikimania (the annual international community conference), the visual editor, Wikivoyage, Wiki Loves Monuments and more.
We'll be inviting journalists from the mainstream media and tech media to come along. The event will be informal and friendly, a chance to meet and greet journalists. The event will be open to TechHub members and a chance for the journalists to see the kind of things people are working on within TechHub and Tech City.
Techhub members can register here, check your newsletter / Yammer for event password.
