Abstracts are now being accepted for the 19th International Docomomo Conference (IDC), taking place March 17-22, 2026 in Los Angeles. 

Docomomo International invites practitioners, educators, researchers, and scholars involved in the documentation, conservation, and renovation of buildings, sites, and neighborhoods of the modern movement to submit paper abstracts on the theme Multiple Moderns: Climate, Community, Creativity. We encourage proposals that support the conference theme and the subthemes, that advance our collective practice in the documentation and conservation of modern works, and expand our understanding of modernism globally to assist in the development of educational frameworks and tools for a new generation of designers.

Subthemes:

- Mobility and Sprawl

- Modernism in the Sun

- Late Twentieth-Century Modernism

- Community Adaptation and Repurposing

We encourage in-person participation, but we understand this is not always a possibility, and therefore the conference will have a hybrid format that allows for remote participation.

Abstracts are due June 2, 2025.
