Scope:
~~~~~~

Lisp is one of the greatest ideas from computer science and a major
influence for almost all programming languages and all sufficiently
complex software applications.

The International Lisp Conference is a forum for the discussion of
Lisp and, in particular, the design, implementation and application of
any of the Lisp dialects.  We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to
participate.
