The annual GLAMhack has been postponed by one year and will now take place from 12–14 November 2026 in Winterthur, hosted by the SKKG at CAMPO.
In the meantime, the OpenGLAM Working Group invites everyone interested in shaping our upcoming projects — especially the preparations for GLAMhack 26. Feel free to come back to us if you want to add some points you want to discuss.
This gathering will also serve as the annual meeting of the Friends of OpenGLAM CH, and we look forward to welcoming many familiar faces as well as new ones.
To participate, please register by sending an email to jonas.lendenmann@openglam.ch and let us know if you join us for lunch.
