On behalf of the Search Engines and Society Network (SEASON), we invite you to contribute to the 2026 edition of the Search Engines and Society Annual Conference (SEASON 2026) to be held at HAW Hamburg, Germany, 15th – 17th September 2026.

Following the success of SEASON 2025, which brought together an engaged and diverse international community of researchers, practitioners, and students, SEASON continues as a dedicated conference series for critical and interdisciplinary research on search engines and their societal implications.

SEASON is an annual conference that explores the multifaceted role of search engines in today’s culture and society. The conference brings together researchers from different fields and fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration to deepen our understanding of search engines as cultural, societal, political, and technical artefacts, as well as their use in everyday practices.

Building on the momentum of last year’s conference, we invite submissions for presentations, interactive sessions (including panels and workshops), posters, and experimental formats.
