| 2-1 | A message from Bernd Möbius and Elmar Nöth, Interspeech TPC Chairs
Dear colleagues,
We are very pleased by the fact that 1,458 papers were submitted to the Interspeech 2015 conference, to be held in Dresden on September 6 - 10, 2015. These submissions are now under review. Almost 900 speech communication researchers have agreed to serve as reviewers, and the review process is coordinated by a dedicated team of 40 Area Chairs in 12 major scientific areas.
Please remember that the deadline for Show & Tell contributions is April 17, so there is still time to demonstrate your most recent progress or developments in a non-standard format, using mock-ups, demos or alike. You might also have a look at the large range of satellite workshops co-located with Interspeech 2015.
All information is continuously updated on our website www.interspeeech2015.org, or follow us on twitter (@interspeech2015).
