Sponsorship

The ACL conference and the ACL organization benefit greatly from the financial support of our sponsors. We thank the platinum level sponsor, Baidu; the three gold level sponsors; the three silver level sponsors; and five bronze level sponsors. Three other sponsors took advantage of more creative options to assist us: Facebook sponsored the Student Volunteers; IBM sponsored the Best Student Paper Award; and SDL sponsored the conference bags.
