The TAI Standing Committee is delighted to announce that the Institute for Phonetics and Speech Processing at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany, has won the bid to host the 3rd International Conference on Tone and Intonation (TAI 2025). Dr. James Kirby and his team will host the conference in Munich (Herrsching), Germany, during May 16-18, 2025.

With the theme of 'Variation and Change in Tone and Intonation Systems across Space and Time,' TAI 2025 aims to foster a more diverse and comprehensive understanding of tone and intonation by exploring variation in geographical as well as physical space, along with the dynamic evolution of tone and intonation across various timescales.

Please visit the conference website www.tai2025.org for preliminary information. Additionally, attendees of Speech Prosody 2024 will have the opportunity to hear a brief introduction to TAI 2025 at the closing ceremony of SP2024.

We eagerly look forward to meeting you at TAI 2025 in Herrsching!!

Kind regards,

Wentao Gu
