    these areas.

    countries including lexicographers, computational linguists, professors,
    research students, translators, terminologists, and editors, managers and
    technical support staff from dictionary publishers and information
    management companies.

     

    The venue will be Hotel Opatija <http://www.hotel-opatija.hr/> , on the
    beautiful Dalmatian coast.
