<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">This is the sixth time we’re holding our international little humor conference in Northeast Texas, this time again in downtown Dallas. The theme is “Empirical Approaches to Humor”, but submissions on any topic in humor research
from any discipline are welcome. As former participants know, t</font>he conference’s appeal is its all-plenary high-quality presentation and cozy social program, extreme affordability, especially for students, and stateside venue near Dallas’ airports.</div>
