The 14th annual ADIT conference took place in Krasnodar, June 7–11, 2010. The conference theme was "CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE PATH TO UNITY." In addition to the usual plenary and breakout sessions, the conference program included for the first time an educational module, "ADIT School," designed to allow new ADIT conference participants, to hear to experienced lecturers, engage with the conference topics and become fully involved in the conference.
