25 July - 27 July 2017
University of Konstanz, Germany
From Tibor Laczkó, ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer:
"The Executive Committee (EC) is inviting bids for hosting LFG18.The general practice of ILFGA is that the conference rotates among three parts of the world: (i) North and South America; (ii) Europe and Africa; (iii) Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. Given the locations of recent conferences, we should in theory be looking for bids from the Americas for 2018.
However, taking into account the current political situation in the USA, the EC has unanimously decided that LFG18 should not take place there (because it may be impossible for some potential participants of the conference to enter the country), nor have we been able to find alternative locations elsewhere in the Americas.
Therefore, we invite bids from all other parts of the world.
Therefore, if you think you might be interested in hosting LFG18 (regardless of your geographical location), please get in touch with the ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer, Tibor Laczkó, at < tibor_laczko "at" yahoo "dot" com >." Please also note that, as usual, you can make a bid at the Business Meeting at LFG17 in Konstanz in the form of a short (ppt) presentation. If you cannot make it to Konstanz, you can send Tibor the ppt and he will present it for you."From Tibor Laczkó, ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer:
"The Executive Committee is inviting donations.Basically, we use this money to support student presenters at LFG conferences. In Konstanz there will be seven of them.
If you are willing to donate, please come and see ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer, Tibor Laczkó, during the conference."
