ALAI Congress 2026 - Copyright and Free Expression in the Age of Algorithms

Vuoden 2026 ALAI-kongressi järjestetään Haagissa, Alankomaissa 17.-19.6.2026. Ilmoittautuminen tapahtumaan avautuu myöhemmin.

Copyright and Free Expression in the Age of Algorithms will be the central theme of the 2026 ALAI Congress, held in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Copyright has long promoted cultural expression by protecting creators, while also safeguarding freedom of expression. In today’s world, algorithms and platforms increasingly control how cultural works are created, shared and seen. How do we keep space for free expression while ensuring creators’ economic and moral rights are respected?

The ALAI (Association Littéraire et Artistique Internationale) is a global association of copyright experts, founded in 1878 by Victor Hugo. It brings together legal scholars, practitioners, judges, and policymakers to promote and study authors’ rights and copyright law. Each year, the ALAI international congress takes place in a different country, offering a unique opportunity to connect & reflect on the future of copyright. The Dutch Copyright Society Vereniging voor Auteursrecht is proud to host the 2026 ALAI Conference.
