WASPAA 2027 — IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics
by IEEE Signal Processing Society, Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing Committee
A small IEEE audio research workshop, held in Europe for the first time, in Levi, Finland
About This Event
WASPAA 2027 is the IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics, held in Levi, Finland, from 19 to 22 September 2027. The workshop has run every two years since 1986, hosted by the Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, and this edition is its first in Europe. It runs for two and a half days and is deliberately small, to encourage conversation between academic and industry researchers. The 2025 call for papers covered generative audio and speech, source separation and enhancement, spatial audio, acoustic scene analysis, music signal processing, and audio security and privacy.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Audio and speech researchers
- ✓Speech AI engineers
- ✓Acoustic engineers
- ✓Heads of audio research
- ✓CTOs at voice and hearing-device companies
- ✓Graduate students in signal processing
Why Attend
A CTO or research lead building voice agents, conferencing, hearing devices or speech products would send specialists here to meet the small community working on enhancement, separation and speech generation. The format favours long conversations with academic and industry researchers, which makes it useful for hiring and for judging which audio methods are ready to ship. Levi is remote, so budget extra travel time.
Event Features
- ✓Audio and speech generation (2025 call for papers topic; the 2027 list is unpublished)
- ✓Source separation and enhancement (2025 topic)
- ✓Spatial audio (2025 topic)
- ✓Audio security and privacy (2025 topic)
- ✓Hearing and perception (2025 topic)
What Makes This Unique
- ★First WASPAA held in Europe since the series began in 1986
- ★Two and a half days at a small scale, built for conversation between academic and industry researchers
- ★Scope limited to audio and acoustics, from speech generation and enhancement through hearing and perception
