Dear colleagues, We are excited to extend our invitation for submission of *abstracts* for the Industry Day at LREC 2026.
As many of you know, the Industry Day is designed to highlight real-world NLP applications, practices and lessons learned, offering a space for organisations to share practical insights, case studies, and perspectives that can help to bridge the gaps between academic research and industry. In particular, this year's Industry Day is also intended to act as a networking platform for conference participants, experts, and professionals to foster meaningful collaborations. We particularly welcome abstracts addressing topics such as: - Applied NLP systems and large-scale deployments - Enterprise use cases and industry challenges - Evaluation, scalability, and reliability in production environments - Responsible AI, governance, and compliance in NLP - Emerging trends and future directions from an industry perspective - Speech Resources and Processing - Less-Resourced/Endangered/Less-studied Languages Submitted abstracts should emphasise practical experience, impact, and insights rather than purely theoretical/empirical contributions. Submission details - Abstract length: 150-200 words - Submission deadline: February 16th 2026 - Notification of acceptance: March 13th 2026 - Presentation format: oral Accepted contributions will be featured as part of the Industry Day program and presented to a diverse audience of students, industry leaders and experts. Only an abstract submission is required for a presentation proposal (not a full paper) and the submissions differ from LREC main submissions in that they will *not be included* in the conference proceedings or ACL Anthology. We would be delighted to include your perspective and encourage you to share this invitation with relevant colleagues. For submission guidelines and a broader list of LREC 2026 topics, please visit: https://lrec2026.info/call-for-industry-day-talks/ Looking forward to seeing you in Mallorca in May! Teresa Lynn & Natalie Schluter Co-Chairs, LREC 2026 Industry Day
