Dear all the contributors of TGSW2017!

I would like to express my greatest gratitude to all the participants in the conference, Keynote speakers: Prof. Sachin Hirokawa and Prof. Hiroyuki Nishina; Invited speakers: Dr. Jun Hiroshima, Prof. George MacLean, Prof. Barry Kavanagh,Prof. Brendan Flanagan, Prof. Ai Nakajima, Prof. Michael Stout, Prof. Shuto Yamamura; and all the presenters of Poster session. Special thanks also go to all the participants who took the time to come all the way to the venue to share the knowledge on language and technology.

The first TGSW2017_language conference collected as many as 34 presentations, which is an unexpected and surprising accident(!) when I planned to make a proposal to the TGSW executive committee last year. The main theme of this conference is “to cross the academic barriers & enhance collaboration and communication”, which is an essential factor to promote an interdisciplinary academic research. As was suggested at the symposium session, there are various types of barriers among and even within academic fields. This conference might be a small start, but I am quite confident now that the approach is highly promising in the near future. One of the biggest facts is that a great many of young researchers and undergraduate and graduate students participated in the conference as presenters in this first conference. I hope that this conference will provide an inspiration and motivation for their future research. I really appreciate their efforts and contributions to the conference.

I am now thinking about the next opportunity for TGSW2018 conference. I hope that you will be back again at this time next year.

As announced at the closing ceremony, we would like to publish TGSW_2017 post-conference proceedings in December 2017. Anyone who attended the conference can make a submission. For details, please check the website.
