**** Call for Satellite Workshops **** 

INTERSPEECH 2015 will be held in the beautiful city of Dresden, Germany, on September 6-10, 2015

The theme is 'Speech beyond Speech - Towards a Better Understanding of the Most Important 

Biosignal'. The Organizing Committee of INTERSPEECH 2015 is now inviting proposals for 

satellite workshops, which will be held in proximity to the main conference. 

The Organizing Committee will work to facilitate the organization of such satellite workshops, 

to stimulate discussion in research areas related to speech and language, at locations in Central 

Europe, and around the same time as INTERSPEECH. We are particularly looking forward to 

proposals from neighboring countries. If you are interested in organizing a satellite workshop, 

or would like a planned event to be listed as an official satellite event, please contact the organizers

 or the Satellite Workshop Chair at fmetze@cs.cmu.edu The Satellite Workshop coordinator along 

with the INTERSPEECH team will help to connect (potential) workshop organizers with local 

contacts in Germany, if needed, and will try to be helpful with logistics such as payment, publicity,

 and coordination with ISCA or other events. Proposals should include:

 * workshop name and acronym 

* organizers' name and contact info 

* website (if already known) 

* date and proposed location of the workshop 

* estimated number of participants 

* a short description of the motivation for the workshop 

* an outline of the program and invited speakers 

* a description of the submission process (e.g. deadlines, target acceptance rate) 

* a list of the scientific committee members 

Proposals for satellite workshops should be submitted by email to workshops@interspeech2015.org

 by August 31st, 2014 We strongly recommend that organizers also apply for

 ISCA approval/ sponsorship, which will greatly facilitate acceptance as an INTERSPEECH satellite 

event. We plan to notify proposers no later than October 30, 2014. If you have any questions about 

whether a potential event would be a good candidate for an INTERSPEECH 2015 satellite workshop 

feel free to contact the INTERSPEECH 2015 Satellite Workshops Chair. 

Sincerely, 

Florian Metze
