Overview

The Language Creation Society (LCS) is a non-profit worldwide organization for conlangers, would-be conlangers, and anyone interested in constructed languages (conlangs). It is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, certified tax exempt by both the IRS and California Franchise Tax Board. Its primary purpose is the promotion and furthering of the art, craft and science of language creation through conferences, books, journals, outreach activities, or other means. The LCS runs the Language Creation Conference, described as the only international conference devoted to the conlanging field in general, and it also endeavors to be a public resource for both language creators and people outside the conlanging community. The LCS originated from the UC Berkeley student group also named the Language Creation Society (UCB-LCS), which is a subsidiary of the ASUC and entirely ran the first LCC and handled most of the finances for LCC2.
