- 11.00 : Panel Discussion - GLAM WTF?! The GLAM sector is made up of a variety of different public collecting institutions, often with varied remits and missions. Yet galleries, libraries, archives and museums are all facing challenges as funding landscapes shift and digital technologies bring new opportunities and demands. Increasingly they are grouped together and asked to act in concert. This panel discussion will identify some of these challenges and points of tension, asking what different institutions might learn from each other as they address them, on what issues they might work together, and considering why some collaborations flop and others succeed.
