🎉 Finally, a conference so niche, it requires a discount code just to attend!
The *Linguists Collective Conference 2026* is here to save endangered languages—and maybe your Zoom background. This online extravaganza celebrates International Mother Language Day with all the excitement of a dictionary reading.
**Programme highlights:**
– **Session 1**: “Saving rare languages” – because nothing says “fun” like discussing grammar rules no one uses anymore.
– **Session 2**: Live training for linguists. Yes, you too can learn to charge £500 for translating “hello.”
– **Session 3**: Open-floor talks. Perfect for anyone who loves hearing themselves speak.
**Attendance rules:**
– Sessions 1 & 3: Free (but your dignity might cost extra).
– Session 2: Free for *registered linguists* (proof required—no faking it, Karen).
– Discount codes for members of fancy acronyms like CIOL, NRPSI, and CCC. Email your membership proof—because who doesn’t love bureaucracy?
**Perks:**
– Live captions (for when the accents get *too* authentic).
– Certificates available for a fee (perfect for framing… or lining your birdcage).
– Recordings for timezone-challenged attendees (aka everyone).
So grab your headset, dust off your thesaurus, and join the *thrilling* world of linguistic preservation. Because nothing screams “party” like a Zoom webinar on verb conjugations. 🎉
