INTERSPEECH 2028

INTERSPEECH 2028 runs 3–8 September 2028 in San Antonio, Texas, bringing the International Speech Communication Association's flagship annual conference back to the United States, with the event sited on the city's River Walk. General chairs John Hansen, Berrak Sisman and Carlos Busso lead the organising committee. Interspeech is the largest conference in the world devoted to the science and technology of spoken language, spanning speech recognition, synthesis, speaker and language recognition, spoken dialogue, paralinguistics and speech-centric large language models. Recent editions have drawn roughly 2,000–3,000 attendees, with a record ~2,700 submissions in 2025 and an acceptance rate near 50%. The 2028 edition follows Sydney in 2026 and São Paulo in 2027; its technical programme and call for papers have not yet been published.

• ✓Speech and audio ML researchers
• ✓Voice AI product leaders
• ✓Heads of AI/ML
• ✓Conversational AI and contact-centre technology leaders
• ✓Applied scientists and research engineers
• ✓Automotive and in-cabin voice teams
• ✓CTOs in customer-experience platforms

Enterprise voice programmes — contact-centre automation, clinical documentation, in-vehicle assistants, real-time translation and voice-based fraud defence — are built on research that surfaces at Interspeech one to two years before vendors ship it. Booking an edition this far ahead matters for teams planning multi-year speech roadmaps or recruiting pipelines, because speech specialists combining signal processing with deep learning are among the scarcest AI hires and this is where they gather. A US location also makes it the cheapest and simplest Interspeech to send a whole team to since the conference's recent European and Asia-Pacific rotation.

• ✓Main technical programme of peer-reviewed oral and poster sessions (the standing ISCA format; the 2028 programme is not yet published)
• ✓Plenary keynote talks from invited speakers
• ✓Tutorials, special sessions and community challenges
• ✓Show & Tell demonstration sessions and an industry exhibit area
• ✓Co-located ISCA satellite workshops, registered separately

• ★Returns Interspeech to the United States after Sydney in 2026 and São Paulo in 2027, making it the most accessible edition for North American engineering teams in several years.
• ★Announced with a San Antonio River Walk setting by general chair Berrak Sisman, alongside co-chairs John Hansen and Carlos Busso.
• ★The largest speech-technology conference in the world by submission volume — around 2,700 papers in 2025 at roughly 50% acceptance.
• ★Run by ISCA, a non-profit scientific society, so the programme is peer-reviewed rather than assembled by a commercial event organiser.
