ACH 2026 (CFP available here) explores how we create and collaborate through moments of exigency in the conference theme of Emergence/ia. With the success of regional hubs during previous conferences, ACH looks to once again support smaller, more localized events related to the larger conference but centered in specific regions, whether geographical, national, or theoretical. Through these hubs, ACH aims to facilitate knowledge exchange, community building, and ease-of-access while enhancing and expanding the mission of the Association. These regional hubs provide exciting opportunities for participation beyond the major conference and look to support new intersections for Digital Humanities research, teaching, and engagement.
Please complete the interest form below with your contact information, proposed region/coverage, and an abstract addressing the following questions:
How will the regional hub interact with the main conference (i.e. watch parties, supplemental panels, outside events?) Will it be offered online or in-person?
What is the particular regional character of the hub? How will you recruit participants?
Who are the potential partners or collaborators in organizing the regional hub?
What is the time zone of your proposed regional hub, and have you anticipated how to leverage time differences for your audience?
How do you plan to use funds from ACH to support your regional hub? (Note: Proposed expenses are subject to ACH approval. Most recipients put the money toward catering costs or room bookings.)
Many thanks for your interest!
