The Languages and The Media conference banner

Throughout its 30-year history, Languages & The Media - the International Conference on Audiovisual Language Transfer in the Media – has become Europe’s leading forum for the AVT industry and a vibrant meeting point for exchange, learning, and debate. 

The 16th edition will take place from 4 to 6 November 2026 at Senate House, University of London, a landmark venue in one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities. 

Under the theme “Moving Images That Move Audiences: Localising with Intent”, this international event will once again bring together a diverse community of media localisation and accessibility professionals, researchers, technology providers, and content creators to reflect on the deeper purpose and social impact of our work. 

At a time of profound transformation in media and localisation, Languages & The Media 2026 will offer a space to address key questions such as: 

  • What is the true value of what we do?
  • How can we ensure sustainability, quality, and care in an industry driven by rapid technological change?
  • Is it time to slow down and refocus? 

Building on the momentum of our last gathering in Budapest, where industry leaders called for a more human-centred approach, the 2026 conference will continue to explore the responsibilities we share toward audiences, creators, and each other

The Call for Proposals is open until 16 January 2026 and should be submitted via the proposal form.
