Duties
Tutorial chairs are nominated by the General Chair of the main conference. Their duties are described in here.
Timeline
The timeline for the organisation of tutorials should follow the general conference planning schedule. Below, we complete this schedule with more detailed tasks, as followed for ACL 2020 tutorials. The dates from the conference schedule are highlighted in bold
Past tutorials
The list of recent tutorials contains tutorial authors' names, titles, and to their summaries in conference websites and/or in the ACL Anthology.
Organization of past tutorials
For the last years, the call and selection of tutorials has been coordinated among several major CL conferences. The table below summarizes some data collected from existing reports and from direct contacts with past tutorial chairs.

Past calls for tutorials
- NAACL/ACL/EMNLP 2019 joint call for tutorials
- ACL/COLING/EMNLP/NAACL 2018 joint call for tutorials
- EACL 2017 call for tutorials
- NAACL/ACL/EMNLP 2016 joint call for tutorials
- NAACL/ACL/EMNLP 2015 joint call for tutorials
Reports from past tutorial chairs
- ACL 2016 report (by Yoav Artzi and Jacob Eisenstein)
- ACL 2016 report (by Maja Popović and Jordan Boyd-Graber)
- ACL 2016 report (by Alexandra Birch and Willem Zuidema)
Lessons learned by past tutorial chairs
- Continue soliciting both cutting edge and introductory tutorials (Marine Capuat, 2019)
- Ask proposers to express their preferred location/conference in one place (i.e. either in proposal pdf, or in softconf form, not both) to avoid inconsistencies (Marine Capuat, 2019)
- Issues with proceedings edition, when one joint SoftConf space is used for many conferences (see the report) (ACL 2018 chairs)
- Avoid confusion about the submission procedures for the final tutorial descriptions, those were submitted by email in many different formats (ACL 2016 chairs)
