GLAMhack26, taking place in Winterthur on 13-14 November 2026.
Organized in partnership with the Stiftung für Kunst, Kultur und
Geschichte(SKKG), GLAMhack26 brings together cultural institutions,
software developers, GLAM professionals (GLAM: galleries, libraries,
archives, museums), digital humanists, artists, Wikipedians,
researchers, and creative technologists to explore new ideas and foster
innovation in the cultural heritage sector.
