Dear ISCA members,

Speech Prosody

Early in July the Speech Prosody conference took place in Leiden, the Netherlands. It was a great success and I want to thank the organisers for organising this event!

General Assembly at Interspeech

Interspeech 2024 is almost here!

On Sunday September 1, Interspeech 2024 will start in Kos, followed by 4 days of the most up to date speech communication science and technology and plenty of time to network and socialise. I hope to see many of you there!

Our research field has grown tremendously as shown by the ever increasing number of paper submissions to Interspeech. Similarly, our association ISCA has seen a large growth in membership over recent years. For the past 3 years, ISCA has been working hard to professionalise its organisation, update our website and databases and so on. More recently we have started working on improving our internal processes and our external communication. More changes are on their way, including a competition! Do you want to learn more? Read on!

ISCA is an association for everyone. So, we also want to hear FROM YOU what you would like to see happen, improve, or change to make ISCA even better.

Therefore I would like to invite you all to the General Assembly:

Monday September 2

Interspeech conference center

Hall: Panacea Amphitheater

Time: 17.30-19.00

The general assembly will take place after the final technical session and right before the welcome reception at the same location.

Hope to see you all there and I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas!

See you in Kos, Greece

Odette Scharenborg

ISCA President
