The idea was conceived at an informal meetup that took place on 6 August 2011 at Wikimania 2011 in Haifa. Most attendees from the region's countries were present and shared their experiences establishing a more global community. The history of CEE meetings already spans 13 years, starting from the first meeting in Belgrade (2012). The following meetings were organized in Modra (2013), Kyiv (2014), Voore (2015), Dilijan (2016), Warsaw (2017), Lviv (2018), Belgrade (2019), two online meetings during the Covid pandemic, Ohrid (2022), Tbilisi (2023) and the last one took place in Istanbul (2024).
