ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development.

              ICMI Steering Board invites proposals to host the 20th Annual Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2018), to be held in a between the end of September and mid-November 2018. We seek preliminary draft proposals from bidders in the North or South American continents (ICMI 2016 is in Tokyo, Japan and ICMI 2017 will be in Glasgow, UK), although strong proposals from other regions are also welcome. Promising bidders will be asked to provide additional information for the final selection.
