Conference

As one of the most visible manifestations of the Global Digital Humanities community, ADHO organizes and sponsors an annual Digital Humanities conference.

The first of these conferences was held in 1989 at the University of Toronto as the joint 16th annual meeting of the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC – which later transitioned into the European Association for Digital Humanities EADH) and the 9th International Conference on Computers and the Humanities (ICCH) sponsored by the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH).
Since then, the conference has grown to include additional organizations and has been hosted in cities around the world, bringing the Global DH community together.

The next ADHO Digital Humanities Conference, DH2027, will be hosted from 28 June to 3 July 2027 in Galway, Ireland.

Conference Protocol

The ADHO Conference Protocol provides valuable and extensive information about conference planning and administration. It collects guiding principles, schedules and concrete explanations of pertinent processes for Local Organizers, the Program Committee chairs and members, and to conference participants and attendees.

Code of Conduct

ADHO is committed to the creation of a diverse, welcoming, and inclusive global community of digital humanities scholars and practitioners, and is therefore dedicated to the creation of a safe, respectful, and collegial environment for anyone attending its events or participating in its activities.
The ADHO Code of Conduct applies to interactions and communications among participants in all ADHO activities, including the annual conference.

Hosting Future Conferences

The call for hosting bids is posted at the beginning of each calendar year, three years prior to the conference in question, by the Conference Officer. Bidding institutions then have approximately three months to develop a formal proposal that includes a budget and adheres to ADHO conference logistics provided in the Conference Protocol. 
Further Information on the bidding process can be found in the Conference Protocol or requested from the Conference Officer.
