The GLAM Café model was designed to give museum, library, archive, and heritage practitioners a regular place to experiment, learn, and build relationships around digital work. Drawing on models such as Wiki Salons, THATCamp, Code for America, and local maker communities, this toolkit explains how to create a low-barrier peer gathering where knowledge moves horizontally. The larger goal is not another conference, but an ongoing community capable of learning and making together.
