I submitted something already for this. Let me know if you'd like to be involved with the lightning talks or the discussion. This is a 90 minute session.

Abstract: State of GLAM Wiki in 2021

The State of GLAM Wiki session aims to cover the major accomplishments of the cultural and heritage work in the Wikimedia community in the last year (or two) and to discuss new work and horizons.

This session will consist of a background talk on the state of GLAM Wiki for newcomers, a series of lightning talks from different folks in the GLAM space, and a roundtable discussion on future directions and projects.

I would support WREN doing something to host a State of GLAM time block at Wikimania, I think that could be a good fit.

Thanks,

Funny that you call it a Chat page, but I get your idea of
pre-submission consultation *(something all community driven
conferences should have)

I will likely be traveling in this period and would focus in advance
on preparing something on my #1stWikimedianInResidenceHR (Croatia)...
Curious and enthusiastic to see how WREN can surface collectively.
