In 2017 there will be a joint ACL and NAACL conference in the Americas. Initial steps towards the organization of the conference have begun. The overseeing committee is:<br />

<br />
Call for bids appears at https://www.aclweb.org/website/node/438.<br />
<br />
Two bids have been received so far: one from Calgary and the other from Buenos Aires.<br />
<br />
1. Pushpak will see about Laura sending a good bid from Argentina (disussions going on).<br />
<br />
2. The successful ACL Sweden bid has been sent to Laura who is working on the Buenos Aires Bid.<br />
<br />
3. The Calgary bid has virtually been shelved due to LOC's difference in perception of how various commmittees for an ACL conference are formed from the way ACL conference committees are actually formed.<br />
<br />
4. If the Argentina bid does not work out, Priscilla will work on hosting ACL 2017 in Chicago or Toronto.<br />
<br />
5. In case of Argentina bid shaping up well, a site visit to Buenos Aires will be warranted.<br />
<br />
6. The feasible time for announcing ACL 2017 now seems to be EMNLP 2015 in August.</div>PushpakBhattacharyyahttps://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=2015Q1_Reports:_ACL_2017&diff=706212015Q1 Reports: ACL 20172015-02-14T01:35:04Z<p>PushpakBhattacharyya: </p>

<div>The Call for Bids for ACL 2017 has been on the web since 13th October, 2014 at http://www.aclweb.org/website/node/438<br />
<br />
Suzan Hauszner, US Sales Manager of Calgary TELUS convention center has been in contact with myself and Priscilla regarding the ACL17 bid. A Letter of Intent was submitted on Dec 8, 2014 by Prof. Yingxu Wang, Director, Laboratory for Cognitive Computing, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Calgary. Prof. Wang will serve as the local organizing chair, should Calgary get selected as the venue of ACL 2017. "ACL17 will be fully supported by the City of Calgary, the University of Calgary, and the Calgary <br />
TELUS Convention Center", Prof. Wang writes in the letter.<br />
<br />
Besides this bid, Prof. Thamar Solorio (contact given by Drago) of University of Houston introduced me to Laura Alonso Alemany who is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Cordoba, Argentina. Her NLP research group is interested in placing a bid for ACL 2017. Laura has organized conferences before, one with over 700 participants, and has worked with Priscilla in the past. Laura wrote, "I am in contact with Agustín Gravano and also José Castaño, who are involved in the organization of IJCAI this year in Buenos Aires. I expect we will be able to collaborate for this event as well!".<br />
<br />
Vancouver was a prospect (Prof. Giuseppe Carenini, UBC). But Giuseppe will be Program Chair, SIGDIAL, 2017 and so expressed inability. I wrote to UWash and GATech, but did not get enthusiastic responses.<br />
<br />
The ACL 2017 Coordinating Committee, made up of members of the Executive Committee of the ACL and NAACL, will select the General Chair and the Program Committee Co-Chairs for the conference.<br />
