[Linganth] LANSI 2026 Photos and Thank You

[Waring, Hansun]

Dear Colleagues:

This past weekend on October 9-10, we hosted the 14^th Meeting of /LANSI 
(The Language and Social Interaction Working Group)/, and we are now 
pleased to share photos of the event that are, in many ways, a testimony 
to the enduring LANSI spirit:

As we continue to build the LANSI signature, we are also happy to report 
that our *10-10 format* (10min talk +10min discussion) in its third year 
was finally settling into the “flow” we had always envisioned. Many 
thanks to all our presenters and participants for supporting our mission 
of remodeling LANSI into a “playground.”

Speaking of play, this year, we again ended the conference playing 
*LANSI Trivia* -- developed by our very own game master Lal Horan, where 
Trivia Winner Hannah Fedder Williams (Georgetown U) won a free 
registration to #lansi2027 along with a bag of LANSI goodies. It was a 
delightful ending -- filled with laughter and excitement -- to an 
exhilarating (and exhausting) two days.

Our 2026 edition of *#HumansOfLANSI *is still ongoing, but to take a 
look at what has been posted so far, please search for *#lansi2026* or
