The European Commission and the US National Science Foundation have announced Multilinguality as one of their main action points. The 2nd international Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC2000), the second of a series of leading biennial events representing cross-sectoral research and development in speech, text, multi-media, and multi-modal processing, is committed to promoting the language engineering initiatives of these and similar organizations. LREC2000, scheduled to take place 29 May - 2 June 2000 in Athens, Greece, has accepted nearly 300 papers for presentation at the main conference. About 10 pre- and post-conference satellite workshops will also take place. Many commercial and research systems for speech and natural language processing will be demonstrated at the LREC2000 Exhibition in parallel with the conference sessions. From 500 to 700 conference delegates are expected to attend this conference, with half coming from the corporate and industrial sectors and half coming from the academic field.
