Conference Dates: November 6 – 10, 2026

Registration Link: AACL-IJCNLP 2026 Registration Portal

We offer early and late rates to encourage early registrations. This helps us estimate the number of onsite and virtual attendees for planning space, food, beverage, supplies, and to avoid system crashes and other glitches from unexpectedly high volume with last-minute registrations.

Registration Tiers

The ACL Executive Committee has established three registration tiers. Each has an additional fee option for authors presenting papers. These fees cover the direct costs of presentation while keeping attendance more affordable for non-presenting authors and participants.

  • Academic Pricing: Universities and research institutions; standard tier for non-students.
  • Industry Pricing: For-profit organizations; highest tier; helps subsidize other categories.
  • Student Pricing: Discounted tier for enrolled students; requires proof of status.

Author Registration Details

Important Deadlines for Authors

  • Main Conference & Findings papers: September 30, 2026 (AOE)
  • Workshops: September 30, 2026 (AOE)

Important Notes

  • Every paper must be linked to a registered “Author Paper Presenter” (Regular or Student). Main Conference and Findings papers must have a registration with the code “F-RP”.
  • Papers not registered by the deadlines will be removed from the proceedings and program.
  • Every workshop paper must have one registered author to the conference (registration code “RP”).
  • Student presenters may register under the student rate.
  • All conference attendees (including presenting authors) must be registered for the conference to access the venue or the Underline platform.

Author Paper Presentation Fees (in addition to conference registration cost)

Author Register Paper (for presentation): Industry/Non-Academic, Academic or Student. All registration fees cover up to 2 accepted papers.

At least one author of each accepted paper to an ACL conference (ACL, NAACL, EACL, AACL, or EMNLP) must register their paper to present at the conference. AACL-IJCNLP 2026 requires all Findings papers to be presented (either in person or virtually).

Note that all paper registration fees are based on the actual hard cost to the conference:

  • In-person register paper fees reflect the attendees’ hard costs of food & beverage (breaks, welcome reception, and social dinner) along with meeting space, AV and poster presentation equipment.
  • Virtual register paper fees reflect the virtual costs (internet, AV, content management, platforms).
