We are thrilled to extend an invitation to the 25th Interspeech Conference, taking place from September 1st to 5th, 2024, in Kos Island, Greece. Building upon the tradition of Interspeech as the world’s leading conference on the science and technology of spoken language processing, we are eager to provide an engaging and inclusive environment for all who share a passion for speech technology and innovation.

Due to the current security situation in Israel and after consulting the ISCA board, the Interspeech 2024 organizing committee decided to move the conference venue to another country in the eastern Mediterranean – Kos, Island, Greece. 

We all hope that we will have the privilege of hosting the Interspeech Conference in Jerusalem in the future.

For years, the focus has been on enhancing speech recognition capabilities across various dimensions: spontaneous speech, large vocabulary, different conditions, robustness in adverse acoustic environments, multiple languages, speaker verification, and language identification. This effort continues.

As technology evolves, we are ready to embrace the next set of challenges and explore new application domains, constituting our Theme for Interspeech 2024: Speech and Beyond. 

Interspeech 2024 continues to be fully committed to advancing speech recognition while meeting new challenges. Some of the intriguing topics that may be explored during this edition of Interspeech are Speech and Health, Animal Sound Recognition, Speech for Interacting with Machines, Robots, and Apps (including VR/AR/XR), Speech for Memory & Heritage, and Communication Across Ages.

We are committed to making Interspeech 2024 a meeting point for professionals from around the globe. From academic researchers to industry experts, we aim to offer an atmosphere where learning and collaboration thrive.

Days filled with cutting-edge research, vibrant discussion, and meaningful connection will be complemented by evenings where you can enjoy the Greek experience. Wander through its lively streets, visit the historical magnificent sites, and enjoy local flavors, all while building connections that extend beyond the conference halls.

Interspeech 2024 promises to be a celebration of diversity, inclusion, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Whether reconnecting with old colleagues or forging new partnerships, we hope you will join us for an extraordinary experience that pushes the boundaries of our field.
