Plenary presentations, parallel workshops
and panel discussions featuring: Dave Allan, Jim Ferguson, Hitomi Masuhara,
Mike McCarthy, Luke Prodromou, Brian Tomlinson
We got 2004 off to a great start with a two-day conference
in Dublin, which many regular participants considered to be the
best we’ve ever run. On the first day Hitomi Masuhara, Dave
Allan and Brian Tomlinson gave plenaries and ran workshops on the
theme of materials for testing and on the second day Mike McCarthy,
Luke Prodromou and Brian, gave plenaries and ran workshops on the
theme of the role of corpora in materials development. The conference
was co-sponsored by ACELS, whose ‘Leader’, Jim Ferguson
contributed greatly to the organisation and the atmosphere of the
Conference, as well as to the presentations on testing on Day One.
Over a celebratory pint of Guinness, Jim and Brian agreed that we’d
run joint MATSDA/ACELS conferences every two years in Ireland.
