May Report

This is a reminder that early bird registration at the discounted rates for DH2024 will close on May 15th. Conference registration at regular rates will remain open until July 15th. To avoid spamming people’s inboxes, conference update emails will be sent to registered conference participants only going forward.
If you are not registered and wish to see future updates on the conference, please go to: https://dh2024.adho.org/ for the latest information. Both our hotel blocks are currently open and the website also has useful information about travel and the local area.
We are also seeking student volunteers to support DH2024 online and in person. Student volunteers will receive compensated registration for their time served volunteering at the conference. For more information or to sign-up as a student volunteer, please go here: https://form.jotform.com/240815298901056
You can also now upload your updated, final, and “camera-ready” abstracts in Conftool. For the final uploads we will use DH Convalidator, which will generate a .docx or .odt template for you to enter your final abstract.
  1. Please login to the DH Convalidator at: https://dhconvalidator.dh2024.adho.org/
    1. Use your Conftool login for DH2024 and the tool will automatically show you the contributions which you have submitted as an author.
    2. Please keep in mind that only the submitting author of a contribution will be able to run this process!
  2. DH Convalidator will then provide you with the templates. When filling out these templates, please stick to the paragraph styles provided by the templates and carefully read (and follow) the text submission guidelines.
  3. Once you are done, please upload the thus created file into DH Convalidator again, which will then generate a standardized TEI-XML document that we can process further.
  4. Download the .dhc file
  5. Upload it in Conftool using the “Final Upload” link next to your submission.
