Hopefully something like a higher revenue share for devs that specifically make the game work well with Steampal / SIAPI.
I don't think they'll reveal their handheld/switch device at this event. Wasn't it reported to be revealed later in the year?
Every Steam-pall Founders edition will come with a handcrafted knife made by and signed by Gabe himself.
I agree that a 720p OLED screen would be ideal as it would allow way more headroom over 1080p and conserve battery power.
So, what are some realistic expectations? It's weirdly worded. Not "announcement from Valve" but rather "a message from Valve regarding Steam". It's definitely not game related, and I'm thinking not hardware related either. Not expecting anything about Steam UI updates (I don't see why they won't do it in a blog post like the previous updates) or SteamOS (this would most likely be tied to the SteamPal announcement somewhere in Fall).
To keep your expectations in check: "We've got some very special news coming later this year. Stay tuned for more information."
In order of likelihood according to me (higher chance first):
-Steam deciding that they are annoyed by the Epic PR and promoting their summer sale in there
-Steam promoting Steam Play Next (demo stuff)
(gap)
-Steam showing some new discoverability stuff / Steam Labs
- Steam showing new Big Picture UI
-Steam getting some sort of program for small indies (upgrade of Steam Direct)
(big gap)
-Gamepass on Steam
-SteamPal
-Steam Cloud Play

GabeN: "Yeah, we're done with Steam. I just feel like we made enough money, y'know? Servers are shutting down next week, bye"

Even if it is, it won't have a half-ass sales system. 1 per person. Sign up for the que and be done with it. Maybe you get it at launch, maybe you wait 6 months, but at least it's put your name on a list and be done with it.
They are going to announce a STEAM Subscription service.
$200 a month, access to every game on STEAM.

Honestly, they could steal the show from everyone else by announcing that a new mainline HL game is in the works, maybe end their presentation with a teaser of it. But also, if they can release a viable portable Steam machine, then hell yeah man.
GabeN sells Steam to Sony, in order to focus on becoming Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Sony puts all their games on Steam.
Hopefully its just poor wording on PC Gamer's part, but from my time in corporate America "a message regarding..." is usually not news you would be excited about. Granted, if it was something distressing like selling a stake in Steam to Tencent or something, they probably wouldn't announce that an event like this.
ie it's a video they've prepared about what's next with Steam. At least that would make sense
