COLING is the oldest Computational Linguistics conference, from its first instance fifty-three years ago in 1965, held in New York. This year marks its third visit to the USA, after the second in 1984 at Stanford. COLING remains the strongest conference in the field that is beyond the ACL, instead organised by the ICCL. The ICCL and COLING hold ideals of being a conference for all, originally to bring together both NATO and Soviet scientists without an overseeing US-based organization. These are values that we have constantly held in mind with our construction of COLING 2018, in Santa Fe, and we are honored to have had so much support in doing so.
