Dear Speech Prosody SIG Members,

 

 

 

First, a brief note about SP 2020 in Tokyo: it will likely be a few more days before the  registration page is open and the schedule posted, as the organizers are working out how best to deal with the travel disruptions the virus is causing.  As information becomes available we’ll send it to this list.

 

 

 

In any case, looking ahead to 2022, members of SProSIG with a history of attendance at Speech Prosody conferences are encouraged to submit bids to host Speech Prosody 11.  Bids submitted by April 21 will garner a presentation spot during Speech Prosody in Tokyo.  The final deadline is June 30, 2020, and written bids received by that date will be posted at http://sprosig.org.   The SProSIG membership will then be invited to consider the bids and to vote their preferences.  Bids may include any information that you believe is likely to sway the members, but should contain at least:

 

 

 

- City and Country

 

- General Chair

 

- Organizing Committee Members

 

- Proposed conference dates

 

- Expected registration fee

 

- Sponsoring Organization (university, company, or agency; may be tentative)

 

- Venue (may be tentative)

 

- Access from the closest major airport

 

- Accommodation options

 

 

 

Further information and the bid template are available at http://sprosig.org/about.html.  Please submit bids to Hongwei Ding (hwding@sjtu.edu.cn ) with a cc to Nigel Ward (nigelward@acm.org ).
