From Conferences Wikia – A wiki for any conference

I'm the co-founder of the Wikia project, and the founder of this specific Conferences Wiki. At many of the conferences I've been to, people have felt it would be a good idea to create a wiki. I'm not convinced of this yet. I think creating an entire wiki about a single conference is likely to lead to a dead wiki within a few weeks, if not sooner. I'm hoping the Conferences Wikia can solve this problem by having a wiki with a ever-changing community and constant new information where people are editing collaboratively, without the need for the attendants at one particular conference to maintain that wiki forever. It also means there is a permanent site for conference-related content, which prevents the need to find someone with the ability to set up a new wiki at every conference. Next time you attend a conference and someone says "let's set up a wiki", please point them here instead!
