The Fifteenth MT Summit conference, hosted on behalf of the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT) by the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA), will be held at the Hyatt Regency Miami Hotel in Miami Florida, from Friday, October 30 through Tuesday, November 3, 2015. MT Summit XV is collocated and will take place immediately prior to the 56st Annual Conference of the American Translators Association (ATA), also taking place at the same hotel venue, November 4-7. Following our previous successful collocations, AMTA is happy to continue our collaboration with the ATA. The two conferences have coordinated program content around joint topics of interest. The conference program is designed to deepen MT researchers' and developers' understanding of the needs of the commercial translation industry and human translators, while also fostering translators' understanding of modern MT technology and the role of advanced translation automation in enterprise globalization and commercial translation processes.

We have assembled an exciting, diverse, and well-rounded program. The program includes invited keynote presentations by KyungHyun Cho (NYU), Matt Post (JHU/COE), Macduff Hughes (Google), Spyridon Pilos (European Commission) and Farid Moussa (US Government). A plenary keynote panel with David Rumsey (ATA incoming President), Jose Palomares (Venga) and Jost Zetzsche (translation technology expert) will focus on translators current use of MT technology. Our research program includes a diverse slate of 16 paper presentations and 11 posters. The conference also includes exciting program tracks with several dozen presentations about government and commercial uses of MT in practice. And don't miss our MT Technology Showcase - our popular exposition of MT technology exhibits and demonstrations, which is free and open to the public. The conference program is now available on the conference website at:

We scheduled in-depth tutorials and workshops on special topics of interest both before and after the main conference, on Friday, October 30 and on Tuesday, November 3. For full details, please see the conference website: http://www.amtaweb.org/mt-summit-xv/

We look forward to seeing you in Miami!!
