MACSIM – the Mid-Atlantic Colloquium of Studies in Meaning – is a regional workshop on issues related to meaning in natural language. It was conceived in 2009, in conversations among semantics faculty at Georgetown, Maryland, Johns Hopkins, Delaware and Penn. The first MACSIM was organized by Florian Schwarz, and held at the University of Pennsylvania in April 2010.
