Organizations that supported HASTAC 2016, hosted by Arizona State University under the theme “Impact: Variation, Innovation, Action.”

HASTAC 2016 brought together a community of scholars, technologists, and creative thinkers in Tempe, Arizona, for a conference hosted by Arizona State University under the theme "Impact: Variation, Innovation, Action." The gathering emphasized interdisciplinary exchange, encouraging proposals and presentations that connect the humanities with emerging digital practices. Sessions and poster sessions created space for conversation across fields, from digital scholarship to humanities-centered innovation, while a student poster competition highlighted emerging work from graduate and undergraduate researchers. The schedule balanced panels, workshops, and reception events, offering participants multiple ways to engage with ideas and with one another across the conference's full multi-day program.

Conference sponsorship plays an essential role in making an event of this scale possible, and the HASTAC 2016 sponsors page recognizes the organizations that supported the gathering. A range of institutional partners contributed, including foundations, university colleges and departments, humanities institutes, and education and technology organizations. Their support helped sustain the generous discounted registration rates, travel assistance, and scholarship opportunities available to attendees, including students and early-career scholars. By backing the conference, these sponsors helped sustain a welcoming environment for the exchange of research, questions, and collaborations, and they join the broader effort to keep interdisciplinary humanities conversation active, accessible, and forward-looking.
