This year, I have had the dubious pleasure of being the Local Organizer for the European Lisp Symposium 2015, which is now exactly one month away; in 31 days, hordes of people will be descending on South East London to listen to presentations, give lightning talks and engage in general discussions about all things Lisp – the programme isn’t quite finalized, but expect Racket, Clojure, elisp and Common Lisp to be represented, as well as more... minority interests, such as C++.

Registration is open! In fact, for the next nine days (until 29th March) the registration fee is set at the absurdly low price of €120 (€60 for students) for two days of talks, tutorials, demos, coffee, pastries, biscuits, convivial discussion and a conference dinner. I look forward to welcoming old and new friends alike to Goldsmiths.
