Submissions for satellite workshop proposals are invited for Interspeech 2025!

The Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops committee calls for proposals
for satellite workshops. The aim of these satellite workshops is to
stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language.
Advertising your workshop as an Interspeech 2025 satellite event
greatly increases the visibility of your workshop.

Please note that all Interspeech 2025 satellite workshops need to
obtain ISCA endorsement. This is a novel Interspeech requirement. ISCA
endorsement may entail financial and/or practical help in organizing
your workshop. For details, please see the guidelines for ISCA
endorsement here.

In order to obtain ISCA endorsement, proposals for Interspeech 2025
satellite workshops should first be submitted to the ISCA workshop
portal. This ISCA endorsement procedure takes about two weeks. Once
ISCA endorsement has been granted, proposals for Interspeech 2025
satellite workshops should be submitted to the Interspeech satellite
workshop committee at satelliteevents at interspeech2025.org.

For more information about organizing a satellite workshop, please
contact the satellite workshop chairs at
satelliteevents at interspeech2025.org.

Interspeech 2025 satellite workshop proposal criteria

We invite workshop proposals that meet the general criteria below:

    • Workshops should take place around the same time as Interspeech
2025. Interspeech 2025 takes place from 17 to 21 August. On Sunday 17
August several tutorials are planned. Applicants who wish to organize
a satellite event are therefore discouraged to organize the event on
Sunday 17 August, so as to avoid thematic overlap with any Interspeech
tutorial planned for that day.

    • Workshops should take place within reasonable travel distance
from Rotterdam, the Netherlands

In addition, proposals need to meet the ISCA criteria below:

    • topic should be in the ISCA scope

    • organizing committees as well as invited speakers have to be
international and diverse

    • organizing committee has to (ideally) cover more than one university

    • keynote speaker(s) has to be someone relevant for her/his domain

Roadmap

1. As of now: Applicants may contact the satellite workshop committee
(for questions, or if you would like to have an idea of the planned
satellite workshop proposals so far).

2. 8 January 2025: Submission deadline for applicants to submit
satellite workshop proposals to ISCA workshop portal in order to
obtain ISCA endorsement

3. 1 February 2025: Submission deadline for applicants to submit their
proposal to the satellite workshop committee after having gotten ISCA
endorsement (submissions after 1 February 2025 might be considered
with less priority). We as Interspeech 2025 satellite workshop
committee will only check whether multiple research teams intend to
organize satellite events around the same (or largely overlapping)
topics. Please send us a brief description (approx. 2 pages) of your
proposed workshop, including target audience, title, topic, location
and date, organizational team, and website. Please also inform us
about the status of your ISCA endorsement application.

4. 15 February 2025: Decision notification by the satellite workshop
committee. Thereafter, satellite workshop organizers may contact the
professional conference organizer (PCO) for additional advice
(pco at interspeech2025.org).
