Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2015 (#WMCEE) was the fourth annual meeting of Wikimedians from Central and Eastern Europe. It took place in Estonia.
This meeting was a follow-up of the successful previous meetings in Belgrade, Serbia in 2012, in Modra, Slovakia 2013 and in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2014.
The meeting took place from the 10th of September to the 13th of September 2015 in the form of a retreat in Estonian countryside and was organized by Wikimedia Estonia with help of several individuals from other communities. The chosen form of the retreat was chosen to help participants to concentrate on the topics and goal of the meeting and hopefully increase the effectiveness of the event.
