Save the Date ALAI International Congress 2026 – The Hague, Netherlands

Copyright has long promoted cultural expression by protecting creators while 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.

Join us in The Hague from June 17 to 19, 2026, for the ALAI International Congress, a unique global gathering of copyright experts, scholars, practitioners, judges, and policymakers. Your presence and contribution are key to make this an inspiring, memorable event.

Established in 1878 by Victor Hugo, ALAI (Association Littéraire et Artistique Internationale) has a rich history of leading the global conversation on authors’ rights and copyright law. We invite you to be part of this tradition.

The Dutch Copyright Society Vereniging voor Auteursrecht is proud to host this critical edition.

The programme is currently in development, venues are being confirmed, and hotel accommodation tips will follow soon.

Mark your calendar – we look forward to welcoming you.

Kind regards,
