The biannual MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference (MUDCon), successor of the again merged annual Semantic MediaWiki Conference (SMWCon; held in fall in Europe) and the annual Enterprise MediaWiki Conference (EMWCon; held in spring in the USA), formerly the biannual Semantic MediaWiki Conference (SMWCon), and initially the SMW Camp and SMW (Users) Meetup, brings together developers, users and organizations from the (Enterprise) MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki community around the world. The conference is featuring discussions of topics related to the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, organizations, and communities.

Like the biannual SMWCon in the past, MUDCon is held in North America in spring and in Europe in fall/autumn. Main organizer is the MediaWiki Stakeholders’ Group, part of the Wikimedia Foundation.
