A language learners’ forum

It takes place in late August, and I'm thinking of going. Is anyone else contemplating the trip?

Do you have a link and/or any details?

This?

I might consider going once I see the actual schedule. The site has no real information at the moment.

Yeah, I noticed the site is still showing template example text boxes too. Maybe the site wasn't intended to be published yet?

I guess that it will somewhat resemble the 2016 Language Festival
So I looked around a bit and found the schedule of 2016:

Last year's speakers weren't a big surprise, some well-known language bloggers (Steve Kaufman, Benny Lewis...) with rather obvious subject choices.
They also have a Facebook group with more information. For some reason, the link doesn't work for me all the time, so just look up NAPS language festival in the Facebook search bar.

I really consider attending the festival, moreso because I visit Montréal on a regular basis and it would certainly be nice to experience the city in a bit more tourist-y way (and also to get to know more people there)

Nah, not for me. If i want to see Kaufman talk about 'listening and reading' i'll just watch his 6000 videos on the subject. Replace 'Kaufman' and 'reading and listening' with 'X 'polyglot'' and 'their 'method'' and you get the gist.

I'm signed up. I wanted an excuse to go back to Montreal anyhow, especially since I couldn't make it to the 2016 edition there, and I loved meeting people at the conference in NYC in 2015 and geeking out with other similarly obsessed people about languages for two days.

The thread is dated, but if anyone is still interested, info to LangFest 2017 is here (picked up from Eventbrite page):
