    Imagine an LT workshop with more big-name invited speakers than ACL 2005,
    namely:

       Dan Flickinger (Stanford, Oslo and Saarland Universities)
       Kathy McKeown (Columbia University)
       Virach Sornlertlamvanich (NICT Asia Research Center)

    Imagine the spectacular backdrop of Sydney for such an eminent event, with the
    guarantee of better weather than we will have for COLING/ACL 2006 ...

    Imagine a painstakingly-selected smorgasbord of 30 papers with authors from 4
    continents:

    Imagine that all of this were to take place next week, that's right, next week
    folks ...

    Imagine a tutorial day to kick all of this off on 9/12, with experts talking
    about dialogue systems (wow!), conditional random fields (gosh!),
    tree-adjoining grammar (gasp!) and document summarisation (yippee!) ...

    The workshop? None other than our own ALTW 2005:

    Imagine now that the deadline for early registrations for this event were to
    be 1/12/2005, just two days from now ...

    What to do? Go ahead and register, via:

    http://www.alta.asn.au/events/altw2005/registration.html

    Also, just before you finally snap and add me to your spam blacklist, there is
    to be an informal dinner (aka inter-faith meeting) with the hearty crew of
    ADCS on the night of 11/12. The word on the street is that the ADCS dinner is
    the unofficial highlight of the 2005 Sydney social calendar and not to be
    missed. If you are interested in being part of this highly exclusive
    invitation-only event, please email James Curran (james@it.usyd.edu.au) so we
    can get an idea of numbers.

    Hope to see you next week,

    Tim Baldwin, Menno van Zaanen and James Curran
