The 6th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation (ICLDC), Connecting Communities, Languages & Technology, will be held February 28-March 3, 2019, at the Hawai’i Imin International Conference Center on the campus of the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. The 6th ICLDC is hosted by the Department of Linguistics and the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and is generously supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.

The conference program will feature three Keynote talks, Talk Story sessions, Workshops, papers, and posters. New for 2019 is the Technology Showcase, a networking opportunity which will bring together technology developers and language community members. An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai’i) to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will take place immediately after the conference (March 4-5, 2019).

Following a format introduced at the ICLDC 2017, the organizers are including a 90-minute block on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to be dedicated to two alternative conference activities: Workshops and Talk Story discussions. The organizers also introduce a new conference event, the Technology Showcase, which will bring together technology developers and community members to explore new applications of language technology. Finally, the organizers welcome proposals for regular paper and poster presentations as well. 

Please note the differing deadlines and guidelines for the Workshops and Talk Story proposals (June 30) and the Paper, Poster, and Technology Showcase proposals (August 31).
