The next conference
The location of FSMNLP 2019 is yet to be decided. Potential future organizers are encouraged to contact the current organizers. Any proposals will be discussed informally at a SIGFSM business meeting that is part of the program of FSMNLP 2017.
Organizers of past conferences are willing to share their experience with future organizers. Organizers also receive support from the officers and board of SIGFSM.
