At Interspeech 2012, ISCA Student Advisory Committee plans to organize 2 events 

that will enrich students experience of attending the conference: a lunch with the experts 

from the Academia, and an afternoon meeting/panel with the representatives from the industry. 

Please find the details of the events below: 

1. 'Students meet Experts' : Interspeech 2012 Student Event 12.00-13.30, September 11th, 2012 

Following the success of the Student Lunch Event at Interspeech 2011, ISCA Student Advisory 

Committee (ISCA SAC) with the support of ISCA Board and Interspeech 2012 organizes Student

 Lunch Event at Interspeech 2012, where students will be given the possibility to discuss their 

research themes, issues and educational topics with experts in the scientific community and 

with other students sharing their interests. This meeting will take place in an informal setup 

during one buffet lunch session to help people bonding and easily experience a constructive 

discussion. Small groups of students will talk about common issues with a senior reference

 member for the research are they are interested in while having a meal with the goal of 

making available to the new members of the scientific community the experience of the 

researchers attending Interspeech: the most important international conference concerning 

speech technology. Students will be asked to register for one of the tables before the time 

of the conference on the ISCA SAC website, and the research areas covered will follow those 

established for the main conference program.

 industry. We expect the representatives from several companies to share their idea of the 

future in the field. Students attending the event can get a perspective of the work and 

challenges in the field from the industry point of view. Students will be asked to register 

before the time of the conference on the ISCA SAC website.
