Wikipedia:Meetup/Stuttgart
This page is dedicated to the monthly meetups of English-speaking Wikimedians in Stuttgart, Germany, which started in March 2025, at the Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart. For the already existing German-speaking event on the second Friday of every month, at the same location, check Wikipedia:Stuttgart.
Feel free to contact one of the organizers if you have any questions, and do not hesitate to add your name and signature in the "Interested" section, to express your interest to attend one of the events.
The first event took place on March 19, 2025. The next one is planned for May 20, 2026.
Given the low return and the expenses associated with maintaining a meetup group, we have moved from Meetup to LinkedIn. We also have a WhatsApp group (link will be added soon).
