| 2-1 | Message from our President Haizhou Li
Dear ISCA Members,
Welcome to the August edition of ISCApad! First of all, let me wish many of you a wonderful summer!
In the past months, ISCA members have contributed to the preparation of INTERSPEECH 2016, as authors, reviewers, organizers, volunteers and cheerleaders. Your contributions have made a difference to the conference!
As INTERSPEECH is less than month away, I trust that you are gearing up for the event. We would like to give you a heads up.
INTERSPEECH 2016 is special. We will embrace a theme of 'understanding speech processing in humans and machines' in San Francisco, the City that Knows How. All 8 tutorials will be on Thursday (8 Sept). The Main Conference runs from Friday (9 Sept) to Monday (12 Sept). Please be reminded that ISCA General Assembly is on Saturday (10 Sept) and Conference Banquet is on Sunday (11 Sept). The Board will announce ISCA Medalist 2016 and ISCA Fellow Class 2016 during the Opening Ceremony.
INTERSPEECH 2016 will be held at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. The hotel is steps from the San Francisco Bay, and a short walk (or cable car ride) from many restaurants. More information on travel and local transportation can be found at the conference website.
You can only experience the excitement by joining the event. Plan your trip early!
ISCA Board looks forward to welcoming you in San Francisco!
Haizhou Li, President
