As the others have said, I have no idea what the criteria for the invites were, but I hope that diversity is part of the criteria. Diversity means including admins from smaller wikis. I do think geographical diversity was one of the goals as the international representation was much higher than I would have guessed.

I hope that Wikia will look at the most helpful admins on Community Central as one of their criteria, because helping people who you know are not affiliated with your fan interest shows character that I think Wikia should promote. Helping people on CC can be thankless, since the appreciation is short-lived, if there is any.

Community Connect was such a great time, though, I can see why everyone wants to come back. That's why I hope it gets bigger.
