Hi SignWriting List,<br>
<br>
SignWriting is 50 years old in 2024. Amazing! Valerie and her work
are a worldwide treasure!<br>
<br>
To celebrate, we've decided to have another SignWriting Symposium.
We have a new format this year. Rather than trying to have live
presentations, we're asking our presenters to submit their
presentation videos ahead of time. For each day of the symposium,
Val and I will introduce the videos for the day and then make those
videos public. We'll also be reading comments and answering
questions from the community.<br>
<br>
Register by May 15, 2024<br>
Videos, slides, and papers due by June 15, 2024<br>
SignWriting Symposium 2024 is July 15-18, 2024<br>
<blockquote>July 15th will focus on Education.<br>
July 16th will focus on Literature.<br>
July 17th will focus on Research.<br>
July 18th will focus on Software.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
If you'd like to participate, there are three ways: Presentations,
Comments, and Questions.<br>
<br>
First, you can present your work in education, literature, research,
and software. Please fill out the registration form and we'll be in
touch. For each presentation we are offering the opportunity to
have a quick chat in either English or ASL. We'll meet online and
you can tell us a bit about yourself and your work. We'll release
these before the symposium as a teaser to the official symposium.
Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange interpreters so if you'd
still like to chat, we encourage you to arrange your own
interpreters to bring along.<br>

Third, you can ask a question. During the daily symposium
introductions, we'll read a few questions and answer the best we
can.<br>

I hope lots of people choose to participate. We are really curious
about your work and we are continually amazed by what we find.<br>
