The ILLS annual conference is proud to be entirely student-organized and operated by the Linguistics Student Organization at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ILLS is a general linguistics conference open to all subfields and primarily encourages the submission of abstracts by graduate students. In the past, ILLS has held special sessions on a variety of themes including Minority Languages; Pragmatics; Multilingualism; and Language and Technology.
Since 2009 this conference has grown to include student presenters from across the country; and in 2013, we reached a milestone of one hundred registered attendees.
