The North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics invites proposals to host its 14th Annual Conference, to be held in the Americas in June or July, 2013. Hosting this major conference is an excellent opportunity to increase visibility of computational linguistics research at your institution. The local organizing committee will share responsibility for organizing NAACL HLT 2013 and may choose to delegate many tasks to a professional conference organizer and/or the ACL Office (Priscilla Rasmussen).
