> The Language Creation Society (LCS) is pleased to announce the Fourth
> Language Creation Conference, to be held in the city of Groningen, in
> the Netherlands, on the weekend of May 14-15. The conference will be
> held at the Infrahuis Noord.
>
> More information about Groningen, hotels, etc. can be found on the
> local information page of the conference website:
>
> http://conference.conlang.org/lcc4/local.php
>
> On the evening of Friday, May 13th there will be an informal social
> gathering to let everyone get to know each other before the main
> event. Please arrive early if you would like to participate.
>
>
> PROGRAM
>
> The Language Creation Conference features two days of talks,
> conference-style presentations, panels and workshops. It will also
> feature the unveiling of the LCC4 relay.
>
> If you want to participate in the LCC4 relay (whether or not you will
> attend LCC4 in person), please send an e-mail to dave@dedalvs.com.
>
> The LCS is still seeking presenters for LCC4. Talks are either 45
> minutes (for topics that are of general interest to conlangers), or 15
> minutes (for topics that are focused on a single conlang). You can
> also submit a "poster", which can be nearly any display that will fit
> in the conference space.
>
> For more information, please see our call for papers at
> http://conference.conlang.org/lcc4/call.php
>
> If you're interested in presenting, please e-mail conference@conlang.org.
>
> If there is a presenter you would like to see, or you have an idea for
> a talk, panel or workshop, please email conference@conlang.org with
> your suggestions.
>
>
> LCC4 PRICING AND REGISTRATION
>
> These subsidized admission fees cover attendance, snacks, drinks, and
> lunch for both days of the conference.
>
> Non-LCS Members: €60 (≈ $80)
> LCS Members: €45 (≈ $61)
>
> As always, nobody will be refused entrance to the LCC for lack of
> funds. If the standard rates are too high for you for any reason, just
> let us know (we won't ask for details) and contribute what you can.
>
> To register, please go to http://conference.conlang.org/lcc4/register.php
>
>
> LCS MEMBERSHIP
>
> Student LCS Membership: $25 (≈ €19)
> Regular LCS Membership: $35 (≈ €26)
>
> We recently introduced, per the suggestion of a prospective member, a
> $10 discount on LCS membership for students. Anyone under 18 or
> enrolled (full or part time) towards a high school or undergraduate
> degree qualifies. To obtain this discount, just indicate when joining
> why you qualify (i.e. how old you are if under 18, or what school you
> are enrolled in).
>
> In addition to a €15 discount on the conference fee, LCS membership
> has other benefits (e.g. free webspace, and two of your own
> yoururl.conlang.org websites). Of course, the primary reason to join
> is to support the work of the LCS - in hosting this conference as well
> as everything else we do.
>
> To join, or for more information on the benefits of LCS membership,
> please go to http://conlang.org/members.php

>
> THE LCC IN EUROPE
>
> The actual cost to us of hosting the conference, per person, is
> approximately €75. As such, attendees paying the standard rates above
> are being subsidized by the donations and LCS membership fees of
> others.
>
> We made a commitment to our membership and to LCC attendees long ago
> to host an LCC in Europe, and we plan to make good on that commitment,
> even if we lose ~$1,000 (about half our annual income), as we
> are currently anticipating. We also still believe in our policy of
> ensuring that lack of money should not be a barrier to attendance.
>
> That said, if we don't at least approximately break even on LCC4, we
> may not be financially able to hold an LCC in Europe again. We would
> very much like to do so, but there is only so much we can do as an
> organization with a small pool of resources, and there are other
> things that we would like to be able to spend our limited resources on
> (such as an editor for the LCS podcast, publication of our upcoming
> journal Fiat Lingua, etc).
>
> Therefore, if you are able, please donate to the LCS to help support
> this conference. We suggest a donation of €15-30, to cover the cost
> shortfall for 1-2 people's attendance (your own, if you're attending).
> Donations can be made at http://conlang.org/donate.php or at the door.
> Please email lcs@conlang.org for alternate payment methods.
>
> Donators of more than €30 will be thanked for their generosity in the
> conference program (anonymously, if they prefer).
>
> We would also greatly appreciate donations of labor or technology for
> the conference, or conlanger-related goods for a silent auction.
> Please email conference@conlang.org to let us know what you have to
> contribute.
>
> We want to be sure to get as many attendees as possible so please help
> us by getting the word out as widely as you can—especially to those
> conlangers living in Western Europe!
>
>
> QUESTIONS? COMMENTS?
>
> If you have any questions or comments (about programming,
> the location, or anything else related to LCC4), please contact
> the conference committee at conference@conlang.org.
