MT Summit VIII, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 18-22 September 2001

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) invites you to
participate in the Eighth "Machine Translation Summit" which is being
held in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain from the 18th to the 22nd
September 2001.

The MT Summit conferences bring together the global MT community to
review the state of the art of machine translation, computer-aided
translation support tools and multilingual tools, both in the commercial
world and in the research sphere. It is a unique opportunity to learn
about the latest developments in the field, for researchers, users and
vendors to exchange experiences and to get valuable feedback, and for
meeting others involved in this technology.

There will be a full programme of papers, presentations by invited
speakers, panel sessions, exhibitions, demonstrations, and workshops (on
the day preceding the conference and on the final day). There will be
excursions, a banquet and a folk music performance, and also some
activities for spouses and partners of delegates.
