Language Creation Society
The Language Creation Society (LCS) is the organization behind the Language Creation Conference.
We are organized as a California 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. Full non-profit status is currently pending IRS and California Franchise Tax Board approval.
We are affiliated with the UC Berkeley student group, also named the Language Creation Society (UCB-LCS). UCB-LCS is a subsidiary of the ASUC, a fully recognized non-profit, and is the group that entirely ran the first LCC and handled most of the finances for LCC2.
