Out with the old, in with the new! Looking back and moving forward in GLAMR

Join us for an end-of-year event to reflect on what the GLAMR sector has achieved this year and anticipate what 2025 has in store for us.

This Meetup brings together a panel of speakers from across the GLAMR sector to consider the challenges and achievements of 2024 while looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead in 2025. Our panel will share their perspectives on how the sector has navigated recent shifting economic, political, and digital contexts and the evolving needs of our communities. Speakers representing various and varied organisations within the GLAMR sector will reflect on initiatives and lessons learned in the past year and explore emerging trends shaping the GLAMR landscape and the sector's role in a changing world. This event will be an opportunity for colleagues to network and share ideas on the immediate and longer-term future of GLAMR with light refreshments provided.
