London Text Analysis Conference 2026

We are pleased to announce the fifth London Text Analysis Conference, which will be held at the Institute of Management Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London on 9 – 11 September 2026.

This year’s conference theme is Generative AI in Management, Education and Research. As Generative AI continues to reshape industries and academic disciplines, its application and implications in the field of management present a rich ground for scholarly inquiry and pedagogical innovation. LTAC 2026 aims to bring together researchers, educators, and practitioners to explore and discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities presented by these rapidly evolving technologies for questions related to management, research and education.

Our long-term goal is to develop a thriving community of researchers interested in digital text analysis and generative AI in social science research.
