The Friday Culture Crawl focuses on GLAM Wiki and cultural heritage. The weekend sessions are made of events hosted by partners and original content, such as an update on activity by North American Affiliates and a session on the state of the Wikimedia 2030 movement strategy process.
It's not all business - the conference is also designed for social interaction and fun. The presence of a WikiCheese meetup is rumored but unconfirmed, and bring your own beverage and munchies for social activity time. You'll be able to mingle in the various virtual small rooms for topical chats, or perform at the Sock Puppet Stage or Talk Page Theater. Hang out with friends old and new in the many zones in the virtual lounge.
