A two-way dialogue to determine how to use the two communities' strengths to a mutual advantage.

Achieving this would involve:

* why and how cultural institutions could work with Wikimedia projects; and
* what Wikimedia needs to do to make collaboration easier and more effective.

Key stakeholders from the four industry groups - Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) - across Australia and New Zealand.

Specifically, institutions are encouraged to send representatives on behalf of their copyright, web, sales and education departments. This diversity is required in order to build a broad consensus which can be taken back to the institutions with confidence.

Representatives from the Wikimedia community including staff from the Foundation and volunteers from the various wiki-projects (including international attendees).

Places are limited to 150 and efforts will be made to ensure audience diversity.
