The International Conference on Conversation Analysis (ICCA-14) was held in Los Angeles, California in July 2014. The conference continued to reflect a vibrant research community, with 600+ submissions from 40 different countries. The organizers, under the leadership of Tanya Stivers, were able to program 400 of these submissions over four days in nine concurrent sessions, including 13 panels. In addition, twenty pre-conference workshops attracted 7-25 participants each. A particularly encouraging feature was that students were involved in almost 40% of submissions; 137 papers were solely student-authored. Graduate student members of the organizing committee arranged three special events for their peers: a professional development session, a “meet the professor” lunch, and a student mixer.
