The event is an opportunity for advanced users of the Sketch Engine and others interested in corpus NLP and corpus lexicography to keep breast of new functionality, compare notes on how the tool can be used to greatest effect, and to discuss problems and possibilities with the development team. It follows on from successful events in Brighton, UK (2011) and <a href="http://goog_1103217201/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); ">Ljubljana</a><a href="http://goog_1103217201/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); ">,</a><a href="http://www.slovenscina.eu/Vsebine/En/Dogodki/BesedneSkice/Program.aspx" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); ">Slovenia</a> (2010).
