Association for Computational Linguistics and the 11th
 
International Joint Conference on Natural Language
 
Processing (ACL-IJCNLP 2021) will be held in Bangkok,
 
Thailand, August 1-6, 2021. See the conference homepage:
 
https://2021.aclweb.org/.
 
 
 
We have built 18 committees and there are 60 chairs in
 
total. It is really a great set of chairs! Up to now all
 
things on organization of ACL-IJCNLP’2021 have been well
 
processed and everything is going smoothly. The
 
following summarizes the progress in 2021:
 
 
 
We received over 3500 submissions, a new record.
 
 
 
Following advice from last year and referring to other
 
conferences, including COLING’2020 and NAACL’2021, we have
 
built an Ethics Advisory Committee (EAC). The three co-chairs are
 
from Europe, US and Singapore. They are Malvina
 
Nissim from University of Groningen, Xanda Schofield from
 
Harvey Mudd College and Min-Yen Kan from National University
 
of Singapore.
 
 
 
Considering it is not very easy that PC Chairs communicate
 
with authors by using Softconf system (START), we have built
 
a message board in the conference home page. All news,
 
especially those important and emergent news and notices are
 
announced in the message board. In addition, we have built
 
the Social Media Committee. The five Social Media Committee
 
chairs are from North America, Europe and
 
Asia. They help the conference, especially the PC Chairs,
 
distribute news as widely as possible in cooperation with
 
the publicity chair by using Twitter, Facebook, WeChat, Weibo
 
and many other social media platforms.
 
 
 
In good cooperation with NAACL’2021 and EACL’2021, our
 
Workshop Chairs, Kentaro Inui and Michael Strube, have
 
selected 23 workshops, which have been announced on the
 
conference home page.
 
 
 
Also in good cooperation with NAACL’2021 and EACL’2021, our
 
Tutorial Chairs, Min Zhang and David Chiang have selected 6
 
tutorials, which are shown on the conference home page.
 
 
 
The Demo Chairs, Heng Ji, Jong C. Park and Rui Xia, have
 
announced the demo CFP on the conference home page (and via
 
the ACL mailing list). The submission deadline is March 25,
 
2021. According to the request from Heng and Jong, I invited
 
Prof. Rui Xia to join the committee.
 
 
 
With the great help of Priscilla Rasmussen and Chris
 
Callison-Burch, the new version of the Sponsorship booklet has
 
been prepared and announced on the conference
 
homepage. In addition, to enhance the local sponsorship
 
committee, two researchers, Jing Li and Zhongyu Wei, have
 
been invited to join the committee.
 
 
 
The SRW chairs did good work under the supervision of four
 
Faculty Advisors. The paper submission deadline for SRW is
 
April 2, 2021.
