I am very happy to report that the 12th International Pragmatics Conference was a great success. The conference was well attended, with more than a thousand registered participants. There were 17 parallel sessions and a poster session, but fortunately all events were held in one building called University Place at the University of Manchester. Everybody who attended must have had a stimulating and enjoyable time meeting old friends and renewing friendships.

As I promised, I am uploading Presidential Lecture on this Website for those who could not make it to the lecture on Sunday, July 3. I hope you will enjoy the video clips of the presentation. It consists of the text of the lecture and the PowerPoint slides.
