Introduction

The ninth Machine Translation Summit of the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT) will take place in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, on September 23-27, 2003.

MT Summit IX will provide a forum for everyone interested in using computers to help with language translation: developers, researchers, users, students, and people who love languages. The program will be packed with invited talks, research presentations, demonstrations, panels, and an exhibition fair that showcases established companies side by side with new MT startups.

A lively social agenda will include a reception and a surprise banquet that promises a very enjoyable evening.

The Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) is organizing the event on behalf of the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT).
