Wikia was proud to be a sponsor of Wikimania 2006, the second annual conference of the Wikimedia Foundation which took place in August in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the Harvard Law School campus. Many members of Wikia, Inc. staff attended, along with some Wikia users and Uncyclopedians. The conference provided the first opportunity for a general Wikia meetup.

 * Wikia中文的使用者各位好！首先是一個好消息，一年一度的維基媒體國際年會，經過一個月多的主辦權申辦競賽之後，由台北奪下了2007年的主辦權！舉辦日期尚未確定，預計是在八月初，到時候全球關心維基、wiki發展的人，將會一同到台北參加這個盛會. 2006年在波士頓的年會，安排了各計畫的Wikia用戶一同分享經驗，Wikia的工作人員們，也會與大家一同討論. 希望在這一年中，大家能繼續吸引更多的同好一同參與這個wikia的運作，在明天夏天，將中文的成果，展示給全世界！--KJ_(talk) 06:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
