In my welcome to participants in this year's conference handbook, I especially welcomed those for which it was their first ACL. I expressed the hope that the conference fulfilled their expectations and remained in their memory as a great start. Trying to imagine the first experience of a present-day ACL, the magnitude of the whole event may be a bit overwhelming - our field is on an expanding trajectory, and even a selection of the best work fills a great number of parallel sessions over a number of days; plus, there are the workshops and tutorials to quench many topical thirsts. This ACL again promises to be a next peak in a progressive development.
