Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Linguistics Communication (LingComm21) brings
together lingcommers from a variety of backgrounds, including linguists who
have developed skills in communicating with public audiences and communicators
who have developed a ''beat'' related to language.

Taking advantage of a digital-first format to bring together lingcommers from
around the world, LingComm21 is a small, highly interactive conference
featuring a mix of beginner and advanced panels on specific areas of lingcomm,
as well as smaller special sessions emerging from the shared interests of
attendees.

Confirmed invited speakers (so far):
-Kate Burridge, Monash University
-Nicole Holliday, University of Pennsylvania
-Ben Zimmer, The Wall Street Journal
-Megan Figueroa and Carrie Gillon, Vocal Fries
-Lane Greene, The Economist
-Mignon Fogarty, Grammar Girl
-Daniel Midgely, Because Language
-Grant Barrett, A Way with Words
-Helen Zaltzman, The Allusionist
-Kory Stamper, Word by Word
-Erin McKean, Wordnik


Announcement: 

For much of the world, the conference will run April 19-22, in a single
four-hour block each day beginning at UTC 20:00. That’s beginning at 10am in
Honolulu, 1pm in Seattle, 4pm in Montreal, 9pm in London, and 10pm in Paris.
For those on the leading edge of time zones, the conference will run April
20-23, beginning at 6am in Melbourne and 8am in Auckland.

The conference will be held in a custom space on Gather, a proximity chat
platform which lets participants wander around and chat in spontaneous small
groups between sessions, and which includes a virtual coffee shop and pub for
off-hours and informal meetups. Tell us which topics you can speak to, and
we’ll match you with co-panelists who share your interests.
