The ADHO organizes and sponsors an annual conference. The first joint conference was held in 1989 at the University of Toronto. That event was the 16th annual meeting of ALLC and the ninth annual meeting of the ACH-sponsored International Conference on Computers and the Humanities (ICCH). Since then, the joint conference has grown to include additional organizations, and it has been held in cities around the world:

ACH hosts a searchable XML collection of abstracts from previous conferences; if you are planning to submit an abstract for a future conference, you may want to consult this collection. Note that the collection does not yet contain all past abstracts, but additional years will be added from time to time. Also, be advised that more recent abstracts are probably a better guide to current practice than older ones might be.
