We have 60 area chairs assigned to manage the submissions, which have been organized into 8 broad areas, with one senior area chair designated to oversee each area. In addition, 1,447 reviewers have been recruited to review the paper submissions. Acceptance notifications are scheduled to go out on August 10. EMNLP 2018 will also have demo sessions, and has received 77 demo submissions, which is also a substantial increase over EMNLP 2017 (53 demo submissions).

Six tutorials, 12 workshops, and 2 co-located conferences (CoNLL and WMT) will be held prior to the main conference. EMNLP 2018 will have 3 invited talks by Johan Bos, Julia Hirschberg, and Gideon Mann, along with the usual complement of oral & poster presentations and a best papers session. We are planning for registration to open in early August.
