The Digital Humanities conference is an academic conference for the field of digital humanities. It is hosted by Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations and has been held annually since 1989.

History

The first joint conference was held in 1989, at the University of Toronto—but that was the 16th annual meeting of ALLC, and the ninth annual meeting of the ACH-sponsored International Conference on Computers and the Humanities (ICCH).[1]

The Chronicle of Higher Education has called the "highly competitive" but "worth the price of admission," praising its participants' focus on best practices, the intellectual community it has fostered, and the tendency of its organizers to sponsor attendance of early-career scholars (important given the relative expense of attending it, as compared to other academic conferences).[2]

In 2015, Nickoal Eichmann and Scott Weingart published the results of an analysis of the Digital Humanities conference abstracts between 2004 and 2014.[3] The analysis highlights some trends evident in the evolution of the conference (such as the increasing rate of new authors entering the field, and the continuing disproportional predominance of authors from the Americas represented in the abstracts).

Weingart has also published detailed analyses of submissions to Digital Humanities 2013, 2014, and 2015 on his blog.[4]
