We are yet to sign the contract between ACL and NCSR!

The final draft will be issued in about 2 weeks. o A price list for various levels of EACL sponsorship are now fixed, as part of a larger package of sponsorship prices that include EACL and NAACL conferences too. o The style files are finalised. I will make a site visit to Athens in October, to look at the conference, reception and banqueting facilities. 2.
