The local chairs are Bernardo Magnini, magnini@fbk.eu Lenci Alessandro, alessandro.lenci@unipi.it, Simonetta Montemagni, simonetta.montemagni@ilc.cnr.it, and a professional conference organizer, Maria Cristina Schiavone, mariacristina.schiavone@promoleader.com
Since that report:
We are very pleased to report that Lluis Marquez has agreed to be general chair for the conference. We are very pleased to report that Anna Korhonen and Daniel Marco have agreed to be Program Co-chairs for the conference.
The contract has been signed with PLS Educational SRL.
There is currently a website at http://www.acl-2019.com/; we hope to get acl2019.org linked to it soon.
The other conference chairs will be selected by the general chair with support from the coordinating committee. Further ahead, they should start on collecting preliminary local information, preparing an initial conference announcement, and make contact with the ACL sponsorship committee.
