Dear ALTA 2017 participants and the larger ALTA community,

- My ALTA co-chair: Jojo Wong

- ALTA Programme Chairs: Jojo Wong, Reza Haffari

- Local Organiser (ADCS): Guido Zuccon

- ADCS organisers: Bevan Koopman, Mark Carman, Guido Zuccon

- ALTA Keynote speakers: Lewis Mitchell, Robert Dale

- Tutorial speakers: Ben Hachey

- Shared task organisation: Diego Molla,  Steve Cassidy

- Session chairs: Massimo Piccardi, Cecile Paris, Mark Dras, Reza Haffari, Falk Scholer, and Diego Molla-Aliod

and of course, the authors and participants!

I would also like to thank the sponsors of ALTA 2017: (Gold) Sintelix, CMCRC; (Silver) CSIRO Data61, Google, and (Venue Services) QUT.  Without their generous support, we would not have been able to put together such a wonderful programme.

The programme was a great one this year.  Please look online at http://alta2017.alta.asn.au which will point to the permanent ACL Anthology archive location shortly.

We're very keen to have your feedback on the organisation of ALTA 2017.  Please visit http://bit.ly/2k5BvBy  to provide feedback on this year's workshop and the organisation of next year's workshop (you can give feedback on next year's organisation even if you didn't attend ATLA 2017).
