With its theme Lexicography in the Age of AI, the conference aims to bring together professional lexicographers, linguists, publishers, researchers, software developers and anyone interested in dictionaries and their educational, cultural, political and social impact on everyday life.
The conference is planned as a hybrid event and while we encourage everyone to participate on-site, we plan to provide live streaming and recording of the event for registered participants. Please note that the authors are expected to present on-site though.
The programme will include plenary lectures, parallel topic-related sessions, software demonstrations, presentations of new projects and young lexicographic professionals, pre-conference workshops, a book exhibition as well as social events.
