Important Dates =============== Proposals of workshops to ISCA Workshop portal (for ISCA endorsement): 8 January 2025 Proposals of workshops to IS2025 Satellite Workshop Committee (after having gotten ISCA endorsement): 1 February 2025 Notification by IS2025 Satellite Workshop Committee: 15 February 2025

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@interspeech2025.org.

For more information about organizing a satellite workshop, please contact the satellite workshop chairs at satelliteevents@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
