Program Co-Chair Duties

The Program Co-Chairs are responsible for assembling the main conference program. This includes:

  • deciding on the areas/tracks (for reviewing purposes)
  • selecting the Area Chairs
  • overseeing the work of the Area Chairs, especially in selecting the program committee (reviewers)
  • constructing and distributing the Call-for-Papers
  • overseeing the reviewing process (taking into account the recent push by ACL and EACL to try and develop a more diverse program at conferences, including the use at ACL of different review forms for different categories)
  • overseeing any author response period as part of the reviewing process
  • making the final selection of accepted papers (in close consultation with the Area Chairs)
  • communicating the review results to authors
  • overseeing the Best Paper Award (if the chairs decide to have one); creating the process by which any awards are decided (e.g. form a separate committee to make the decision)
  • selecting invited speakers
  • creating the conference program
  • constructing a program handout
  • communicating with the General Chair and the Executive Committee
  • providing updates to the Program Chair section of the Conference Handbook
