The current schedule is here: HAAC 2026: Fifth Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC) – The Dupuy Institute

The format is usually we reserve an hour slot, giving you 45 minutes (or less) for the presentation and 15 minutes (or more) for questions and answers and discussion. Most people use power point, some just speak. Format is up to the presenter.  I do not require abstracts, bios, etc. Prefer to keep things simple. Can do virtual presentations but prefer in person. We are located near DC.
