Just a quick reminder that the early registration deadline for DH2014 is at 22:59 CET tonight (for real this time):

DH2014 Registration Site
Purchase ADHO Membership
DH2014 Detailed Conference and Workshop Schedules

Please note that the early registration discount impacts only one category of conference participants, as student and non-ADHO member rates are constant:

ADHO and affiliated organisations member (before April 14th, 2014) 300 CHF
ADHO and affiliated organisations member (after April 14th, 2014) 375 CHF
Non-member 550 CHF
ADHO and affiliated organisations student 100 CHF
Student non-member 225 CHF
Unil and EPFL member 150 CHF
Unil and EPFL student 80 CHF

After some very hard work by Melissa on the scheduling, we now have provisional draft schedules for the workshops, panels, paper sessions and poster sessions ready to go. These schedules include all presentation titles and authors, as well as provisional timing.

Please note that the details are still subject to change prior to the conference, though we will naturally do our best to keep any changes to a minimum:

DH2014 Panels and Paper Sessions
DH2014 Poster Sessions
DH2014 Workshops

For those of you facilitating the sessions, we encourage you to take a close look for your presentations and let Melissa know if there are any conflicts that may have been missed or any additional concerns.

Due to popular demand, we have decided to extend the deadline for early registration. The new deadline is April 14, 2014 at 23:59 CET.

We expect the pre-conference workshop schedule to be released early next week, as well as the detailed daily schedule for the conference, so those waiting on that information before deciding to register will then have four or five days to register at the discounted rate.

Please note that the early registration discount only impacts one category of conference participants, as student and non-ADHO member rates are constant:

ADHO and affiliated organisations member (before April 14th, 2014) 300 CHF
ADHO and affiliated organisations member (after April 14th, 2014) 375 CHF
Non-member 550 CHF
ADHO and affiliated organisations student 100 CHF
Student non-member 225 CHF
Unil and EPFL member 150 CHF
Unil and EPFL student 80 CHF

We have been made aware that there is a security issue preventing those living in certain countries, notably the USA and Australia, from being able to pay their conference fees via the registration site (we’re using Datatrans with 3-D Secure).

If you encounter this problem, please contact our Lorraine Greuter at Lausanne Tourism directly:

All of those dealing with this issue and contacting Lausanne Tourism before the early registration deadline will still receive the more attractive rate.

Due to very high demand, including a large number of early registrations over the past two days, we unfortunately must inform you that the CERN visit is now fully booked.

The good news is that there are still two great options available for those of you looking for a guided activity on Saturday, July 12th. The first is a full-day trip to Gruyère and the second a half day (morning) guided tour of the historic city of Lausanne. Living in Lausanne myself, I can attest to the beauty of the old town, with all of its cafés and shops. If you are looking for something out of a postcard, complete with alpine meadows and real Swiss cows, then Gruyère is the place for you. There will even be free Cailler chocolate samples to sweeten the deal (so to speak).

On the evening of Wednesday, July 9th, you also have the option of attending a boat cruise on lake Geneva. This short trip offers excellent views of the terraced vineyards on the lakeside next to Lausanne. The region is called Lavaux, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A call for bursaries has now been posted:

https://dh2014.org/bursaries/

If you are interested in applying, please follow the instructions provided via the link above. Please take good note that the application deadline for bursaries is March 15, 2014.

The bursary awards are to encourage new contributions to scholarship in the digital humanities from our diverse global constituency and to involve new participants in the application of information technology in humanities research. As we continue to grow our organizations in terms of scope, numbers, and geographic dispersion the bursaries are critically important in making it doable for young scholars to meet up with colleagues, young and old, and to get feedback on their work. We will therefore encourage anyone who is able to support the bursaries financially, with any amount, to get in touch with ADHO’s Treasurer, Jarom McDonald, at the email address: [email protected]
