Join us for the 10th Digital Humanities Utah Symposium, a moment to reflect on a decade of collaborations and experiments in the Digital Humanities, and to think critically about the digital decade ahead. We are especially eager to consider how digital communities, projects, and pedagogies are sustained across time and how digital technologies and cultures both constrain and compel our imagination for futures and the sharing of our histories.
The Digital Humanities Utah Executive Committee is pleased to invite proposals for DHU10, which will be held on February 20 & 21, 2026, at Weber State University (Ogden, UT) .
The deadline for proposals has been EXTENDED to December 5, 2025, and should be submitted using our Submission Form.

Proposal Formats
We welcome proposals in the following formats (see below for details):
- Paper Presentations
- Panel Presentations
- Roundtables
- Hands-on Workshops
- Posters
Paper presentations: Please submit an abstract of up to 300 words that clearly outlines your project. Individual papers will be grouped into thematic panels by the program committee. Each presenter will have 15 minutes to speak. After the final speaker, there will be a brief audience Q&A.
Panel Presentations: For pre-formed panels, please submit an abstract of up to 1000 words that clearly outlines the connection between each speaker’s projects. Panels will have approximately 50 minutes to present, with 10 minutes for questions afterwards.
Hands-on Workshops: We recognize the wide range of skills in our scholarly community and invite proposals for 60-minute workshops that have the potential to enhance our broader skillset. In no more than 1000 words, describe the purpose, learning outcomes, and structure of your proposed workshop. Your workshop should provide participants with practical skills and should be largely interactive.
Posters: We are happy to have the space that is ideal for students, faculty, or community members to present digital or creative projects. These poster sessions may showcase works-in-progress, prototypes, or completed projects that are best experienced beyond a paper presentation. Please submit a 300-word abstract describing the project and your presentation format. We encourage undergraduate students to apply to share your work!
