2025 *CL Workshops

This year, the number of workshop proposals submitted was a giant increase over previous years, resulting in a very high number of rejections, so we thought it might be useful to write a blog post detailing some of the decisions. The vast majority of submitted proposals were very strong. We had to reject many very interesting and timely workshops. We tried a number of options to be able to accept as many workshops as possible, including asking some organizers to combine forces, but in the end, we kept running up against venue-imposed space constraints. In this blog post, we’ll go over the number of submissions versus placements, the review, voting, and decision process, and the process for combining related workshops. We also cover the process for allocating to the conferences.
