Hi Wikimedia Latvia Team, Hope you're doing well! I'm writing on behalf of the newly formed Conference Committee for the cultural heritage community in the Wikimedia Movement. We're looking for the next affiliate to host our thematic conference, and we've just opened a call for Expressions of Interest! This next conference will build on the great success of GLAM Wiki (2023 and 2025) and the 2025 Libraries conference — and we'd love for your affiliate to consider stepping up as host. You can find all the details, criteria, and next steps on Meta-wiki here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Expression_of_Interest_%E2%80%94_W… The deadline to submit is October 20, so don't wait too long! If any questions come up along the way, please don't hesitate to reach out — happy to help. Best, Sohila Elshaaer Organizing Committee | Wikimedia GLAM & Heritage Conference
