This year, Wikimedia UK will be hosting WikiConference UK 2011 along with our Annual General Meeting in Bristol on Saturday, 16th April 2011. We're planning on having two parallel sessions during the conference: one on content and one on strategy. The deadline for talk proposals is 2 April 2011.
Content talks: These can be on anything related to content on any Wikimedia project. Examples include wikiprojects, technical work, outreach or entrenched problems on the Wikimedia Projects such as disputes, vandalism...
Strategy talks: These should focus on potential or current Wikimedia UK activities, or other free content activities within the UK.

Moving on from UK GLAM events to long term collaborations, projects and partnerships.
- Presenter Name: Fae
- Session Length: 15 minutes
- Description: The good news is that in the UK our experience is growing at an exponential rate for how to run successful GLAM events (edit-a-thons, behind the scenes tours and backlogs/article improvement challenges). However this raises the questions:
- "What happens next?"; how do we maintain interest for contributors with a wider variety of experience and how should we manage our long term relationships with GLAM institutions?
- "How does WMUK adapt?"; exponential growth always leads to change, if WMUK is to support a growth spurt in GLAM relationships and interest from newcomers expecting chapter support as a GLAM champion, what the demands on our organization likely to be over the next 12 months?
