2026 Total *ACL/EMNLP Income/Expenses (projected)

INCOME:

  Registrations:  7.2 million USD  (77%)
  Memberships:    0.7 million USD  ( 7%)
  Sponsorships:   1.2 million USD  (13%)
  Investments:    0.3 million USD  ( 3%)
  Total Income:   9.4 million USD

EXPENSES:

  Conference Costs 7.6
  Core Services    0.8 million USD (TACL/CL Journals, ACL Anthology, ARR/Openreview, office, IT infrastructure, etc.)
  Total Expenses   9.3 million

SURPLUS:

   Total Project Surplus: <0.1 million USD   (Note: ACL 2026 Conference - currently at $269K loss)


  • Registration fees and sponsorships – roughly cover our combined conference costs
  • Membership fees roughly cover our core service costs (2 Journals, Anthology, ARR/OpenReview)

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES:

  Students         [60%] - heavily subsidized (~$200-400 per student)
  Faculty/postdocs [20%] - at cost
  Industry         [20%] - together with sponsorships cover > 1/2 of student costs
  • As we've grown to 5000+ in person, extremely limited venue and date options
  • Per-person costs increasing with size and inflation
   - Large conference hotels and convention centers are extremely expensive
   - Current ACL 2026 week was the ONLY available summer 2026 option
  • High minimum food spend necessary to contract most venues.
  • Social event options with viable space are very limited
   Note: ACL 2026 social event on USS Midway is the most cost effective of available options
