Dear ISCA Members,

I am glad to announce that Prof. Hynek Hermansky was selected to receive, during Interspeech 2013, the 2013 ISCA Scientific Medal. Congratulations, Hynek!
After Portland 2012 we are moving our main focus to Lyon 2013. Interspeech 2013 just sent the first call for participation and you will find more details on the conference website (www.interspeech2013.org).
The future of Interspeech conferences seems to be very bright indeed. After Lyon 2013, Interspeech 2014 will take place in Singapore and Interspeech 2015 in Dresden. For 2016, we already received a very good 'declaration of intention' and a final decision on this will take place around March 2013.
As you know, 2013 is a 'board election year' for ISCA. This year, a large turnover is expected in the ISCA board as four of the current members, including me, are finishing their second term and can't be  candidates this time.  Please look at the election section in this ISCAPAD for more details.

With my best regards,

JF Bonastre,

President
