<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues.<br><br> 19th Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NODALIDA 2013)<br>
<br>
Wednesday, May 22, to Friday, May 24, 2013<br>
University of Oslo, Norway<br>
<br>
<a href="http://hf.uio.no/nodalida/" target="_blank">http://hf.uio.no/nodalida/</a><br><br>The
conference is now open for early registration. A preliminary program
for the main conference will be published on the conference website
before Easter. Submission of papers to the workshops and demo sessions
is still possible.<br>
<br>This year's NODALIDA has three invited speakers:<br>- Ron Kaplan, Nuance Communications and Stanford University, USA<br>
- Caroline Sporleder, University of Trier, Germany<br>
- Anders Søgaard, University of Copenhagen, Denmark<br><div><br></div><div>We
have managed to keep the registration fee comparatively low, and to
offer good value for money. The conference fee covers two conference
dinners, two lunches, coffee and refreshments in the breaks, plus
electronic proceedings. <br>
<br>The conference dinners take place in spectacular surroundings. The
first dinner (of the evening of 22 May) will be held in the beautiful <a href="http://www.visitoslo.com/en/product/?TLp=236264" target="_blank">new opera building</a><span></span><span></span>
in Oslo, practically on the fiord, and we can promise suitable
entertainment. Its central location will mean that the conference
participants will be able to combine arrival in Oslo in the late
afternoon with this dinner. The second dinner (in the evening of 23 May)
will take place in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_r%C3%A5dhus" target="_blank">Oslo City Hall</a>,
where we will be the guests of the Mayor of Oslo. Here we will be
offered a buffet dinner and beverages, and a guided tour of the building. The
City Hall is also the place where the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony happens
(though not when we are there!). <br>
