The Language Creation Conference (LCC) is an international conference discussing issues related to the craft of language creation, or “conlanging”. The conference is a set of talks and panel discussions about various issues related to language creation from several different perspectives. It includes both fairly technical linguistic discussions as well as more artistic, sociological, or philosophical ones; examples of craft in action; voices from many parts of the conlanging community; and opportunities to socialize with fellow conlangers from all over the world.

Every two years or so, the Language Creation Society holds a LCC. We have an official Code of Conduct and a LCC Venue Selection Procedure that all LCS members are encouraged to review regularly. Presenters include people from many parts of the conlanging community and from all over the world. All proceeds go to the LCS.

The 11th Language Creation Conference will be held on April 11–13, 2025, at the University of Maryland College Park Language Science Center
