Period: Mar. 29 - 31, 2012

The formal program has yet to be announced. But keep checking the conference website here.
 
The series of conferences on Balkan and South Slavic Linguistics, Literature, and Folklore was initiated in 1978 by a small group of Balkan linguists at the University of Chicago. A conference has been held every two years since then: University of Chicago (1978, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996), Indiana University Bloomington (1982, 1986, 1994), University of Toronto (1990), University of Arizona, Tucson (1998), University of Kansas (2000), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2002), University of Mississippi (2004), University of California, Berkeley (2006), and Banff, Canada (2008).
 
The 18th conference in this series will be the very first time that the University of Washington (http://www.washington.edu/discover/visit/) and Seattle (http://cityofseattle.net) will serve as host for this event, which showcases research in Slavic (Bulgarian, Macedonian, Slovene, Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian), Romance (Dacoromanian, Aromanian, Meglenoromanian, Judezmo), Greek, Albanian, Romani, and Turkic (Turkish and Gagauz) languages, literature, and folklore.

The conference is free and open to the public. All registration will be done directly at the conference.
