The Enterprise MediaWiki Conference Spring 2023, or EMWCon Spring 2023, was held April 19-21 in Austin, Texas in the United States. EMWCons are three-day conferences featuring discussions of topics related to "Enterprise MediaWiki", i.e. the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, and other organizations. The intended audience of EMWCon Spring 2023 was anyone who uses, or would like to learn more about, MediaWiki within organizations.

This was the 8th EMWCon. EMWCon began as a spinoff of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, or SMWCon, which is an annual conference held each fall in Europe. EMWCon and SMWCon are both three-day conferences with similar topics of discussion, though EMWCon has a broader scope.

As in 2022, the conference was held in a hybrid manner. For those who could not attend in person, there was online/virtual capability that was intended to be as integrated into the conference as much as possible. All presentations were available on Hopin live and talks were accepted from remote speakers. There was no cost for online/virtual attendance. However, in-person attendance was encouraged!
