Dear all,

We kindly invite you to the 22nd 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.

We moved from an event initially to be held in a church in Utrecht, the Netherlands to an online event. The conference is fully packed with quality papers and we are very happy to be able to offer you the following events and speakers. Highlights include:

Keynotes:
- 'From hands to brains: How does human body talk, think and interact in face-to-face language use?' by Prof.dr. Asli Ozyurek (Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior, Radboud University)
- 'Deep Learning for Joint Vision and Language Understanding' by Prof.dr. Kate Saenko (Boston University, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab)
- 'Sonic Interaction: From gesture to immersion' by Prof.dr. Atau Tanaka (Goldsmiths University of London)
- 'Human-centered Multimodal Machine Intelligence' by Prof.dr. Shrikanth (Shri) Narayanan (University of Southern California)

Paper sessions:
- More than 80 Long/short papers, more than 20 Late Breaking Reports, more than 10 Doctoral Consortium papers, 5 Demo papers

Workshops:
- Action Modelling for Interaction and Analysis in Smart Sports and Physical Education
- Bridging social sciences and AI for understanding child behaviour
- International Workshop on Deep Video Understanding

- Modeling Socio-Emotional and Cognitive Processes from Multimodal Data in the Wild
- Multisensory Approaches to Human-Food Interaction
- Oral History and Technology
- Multimodal Affect and Aesthetic Experience
- Multimodal Interaction in Psychopathology
- Multimodal e-Coaches
- Social affective multimodal interaction for health
- Multi-Timescale Sensitive Movement Technologies
