I’m not going, but I’m interested in what other libraries are doing with Wikipedia and Wikidata!

Subject: [Wren] GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo

Hi all,

I thought I'd start a thread about the upcoming GLAM Wiki Conference, Montevideo, Uruguay, 16–18 November, 2023.

Is anyone on this list going, and are you presenting or looking forward to any kind of discussions or outcomes?

For those who aren't going, are there any hopes and recommendations on what could be addressed at the conference?

While the site still says, "Our intention is to organize an event that incorporates online elements, although a full hybrid event may not be feasible within our current capacity," I don't believe a large set of online activities are planned for those who cannot make it in real life. If the organizers announce something different, please do let the list know.

Thanks,

-Andrew
