to COVID-19, ICLDC 2021 will be held virtually. The ICLDC 7 organizers
are excited about this year’s theme, and the possibilities for broad
international discussion that an online conference can offer. We are
currently investigating what technologies we will use and how the
conference will take shape and how we can accommodate time zone
differences for presenters, as well as family and work obligations. We
look forward to your participation.

at ICLDC 2017 in response to participant feedback, ICLDC 2021 will
again offer Talk Story sessions. These discussions will be led by an
expert discussant and limited to 20-30 attendees per session. Each Talk
Story will be repeated on different days of the conference, allowing
ample opportunity for conference attendees to participate in the Talk
Story Sessions of their choice. Talk Story sessions are meant to be
fully interactive for participants, rather than a one-directional
presentation of information. This format is particularly appropriate for
discussing relationships, how we foster them, maintain them, and better
understand their role in language reclamation and language
documentation.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:24px 0px 0px;color:rgb(29,29,29);font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><b style="box-sizing:border-box">Workshops</b>:
We also welcome proposals for Workshops on topics broadly relating to
the conference theme. Each 90-minute workshop will be repeated on
different days of the conference, allowing multiple opportunities for
interested attendees to participate. Workshops will accommodate a larger
number of participants and are intended to be more presentational and
instructional in style than the Talk Story sessions. </p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:24px 0px 0px;color:rgb(29,29,29);font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><b style="box-sizing:border-box"><u style="box-sizing:border-box">How to prepare your abstract proposal</u></b></p><ul style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:24px 0px 0px 1.5em;color:rgb(29,29,29);font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li style="box-sizing:border-box"><p dir="ltr" style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px"><b style="box-sizing:border-box">Content:</b> Proposals
