Academic Archers Conference 2026

 

Saturday 28 – Sunday 29 March 2026
University of Warwick

 

Celebrating 10 years of scholarly Ambridology

2026 marks the 10th Academic Archers Conference, and we’re returning in person to celebrate in style.

Join us at the University of Warwick for a weekend of warm welcomes, brilliant papers, lively discussion, and the kind of community only Archers fans and researchers can create. Whether you’re a familiar face or thinking about attending for the first time, this special anniversary gathering promises something for everyone.

We’ll be together again for:

  • All-day sessions on Saturday 28 March

  • A half-day of talks and reflections on Sunday 29 March

  • A conference dinner on Saturday evening to celebrate the big 1-0

  • An informal Friday hello at Benugo’s for early arrivals

We know many of our regular speakers are already working on their ideas – and the Call for Papers will be out soon. Watch this space!

A Note on Ticket Pricing

We know that attending a conference is a big commitment – of time, energy, and money – and we want to be open about how this event is run.

The Academic Archers Conference operates on a not-for-profit basis, and ticket prices are set only to cover actual costs, including venue hire, catering, accessibility and delivery. Thanks to the generous support of those who attended our online conference, we’ve been able to keep prices lower than they otherwise might have been.

We’re working hard to make sure this year is truly worth it.
