The Conference
--------------

The Asociation of Lisp Users (ALU) is proud to announce the
International Lisp Conference 2002. The conference will take
place at the Holiday Inn in San Francisco's Financial District
from October 27th through October 31st.

At the start of the 21st century we see the challenges ahead: 
Applications will be more dynamic than ever and will be part of the 
fibers of the Web, software and hardware robots will be our 
assistants, and biology will be source of both computational problems 
and programming metaphors. Applications will be customized to 
individuals who happen upon them, our needs and desires will be 
served by artificial beings, and our software may more accurately 
resemble a termite nest than Rube Goldberg inventions.

Will our mainstream concepts, approaches, and languages hold up? 
Where might we turn for progress, inspiration, and technology? Was it 
right in front of us all along? The International Lisp Conference 
addresses these questions and more.

This four-day conference will bring together a mesh of brilliant minds
from  a diverse international community that involves or borders the
Lisp family of languages. The conference will be uniquely multi-themed in
nature, and each day will paint a different theme. The themes  are  Lisp
and Functional Languages, Web Applications, Robotics and Bioinformatics. 
We have already gathered an impressive list of distinguished 
speakers from each of these communities that promise to deliver a 
captivating a stimulating conference experience.
