Description

We are delighted to welcome you to Ghent for the 11th International Conference on Bantu Languages (Bantu11), which will take place from August 18 to August 21, 2026. You can register here. Early bird rates are available until May 1. Along with the limited external funding for which we applied, the registration fees cover various costs, such as the rental and purchase of venues, materials, and equipment, all coffee and tea breaks and lunches during the four conference days, and the four keynote speakers. Our tiered rates are based on the principle of solidarity, whereby participants with advanced degrees from high-income countries help cover a portion of the costs for participants from low-income countries and (doctoral) students. Participants in the highest tier also contribute to covering the costs for a select number of outstanding participants from low-income countries, whose participation fees are fully covered by the organizing committee. The list of eligible low-income countries can be found here.
