2026 ALHFAM International Regional Conference
in Iceland
September 23 - 26, 2026

Food for Thought: Bridging Cultures Across Time

The theme of this conference - Food for Thought: Bridging Cultures Across Time - invites us to reflect on how knowledge, traditions and skills move between communities and across generations. From farming and foodways to craft traditions and material culture, people have continually adapted inherited knowledge to new environments while maintaining connections to shared origins. This theme encourages presentations that not only inform but spark curiosity, foster conversation and inspire fresh ways of thinking about the work we do.

As we gather in Reykjavík—an exciting milestone in ALHFAM’s growing international presence—we are offered a meaningful opportunity to explore the shared threads that connect diverse cultures. Recipes travel and evolve, tools are shaped by landscape, garments adapt to available materials, and agricultural knowledge is refined in response to changing environments. Though these practices shift over time and place, their roots often remain visible. We welcome proposals that explore movement, cultural exchange, adaptation, resilience and continuity: sessions that illuminate common origins, uncover unexpected connections, and encourage dialogue across borders and disciplines. By engaging both the richness of cultural expression and the ties that unite us, we can build lasting relationships while deepening our understanding of how the past continues to shape our present.
