On Thursday 25 and Friday 26 of June 2026, we will hold a two day conference collaborating with the Edinburgh Futures Institute, to bring together the GLAM Labs practitioner community again to examine what GLAM Labs have achieved over the past 10 years, what challenges there have been and what future models or approaches there could be to these experimental spaces.

Through a series of workshops and talks, this event will draw up a vision for GLAM Labs Futures, imagining, predicting and projecting what the future holds for the experimental reuse of digital collections and data from cultural heritage and other organisations.

We are proud to announce that our keynote for the event will be:

Professor Melissa Terras (MBE)

Our endnote speaker will be:

Dr Tim Sherratt, Historian and Hacker
