2019Q3 Reports: Publicity Chairs

Besides disseminating information on multiple mailing lists early on, the main tasks leading up to the conference has been communication through social media (Twitter and Facebook) for announcements as well providing local information for participants (e.g., information on the NLP conference group for accommodation sharing, support for issues with system notification, info on mentoring program). We also set up the conference blog (http://acl2019pcblog.fileli.unipi.it) and gave PC chairs access to post contributions. We were contacted by Chinese media Leiphone.com to be present in the conference. General chair forwarded the information to Priscilla Rasmussen to arrange for their press badges. Took over the ACL Instagram account from last year's publicity chair, which is linked to the ACL organization and not specific to a conference year. Will follow the last year trend to do photo cataloging as well as to conduct short interviews throughout the conference to help promote work and increase activity engagement. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram will be updated during the conference and promoted via hashtags and mentions used by the community (mainly @ACL2019_Italy, #acl2019nlp, #NLProc).
