Introduction
ISCA organizes an annual conference, INTERSPEECH. This brings together two previous series of biennial international conferences: EUROSPEECH, the European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology, and ICSLP, the International Conference on Spoken Language Processing. Since 2000, both conferences have been under the common label INTERSPEECH. The first INTERSPEECH event was ICSLP 2000, which took place in 2000, in Beijing, China, also co-sponsored by ISCA. Previous EUROSPEECH conferences were held in 1989 in Paris (France); 1991 in Genoa (Italy); 1993 in Berlin (Germany); 1995 in Madrid (Spain); 1997 in Rhodes (Greece); 1999 in Budapest (Hungary); 2001 in Aalborg (Denmark); 2003 in Geneva (Switzerland); and 2005 in Lisbon (Portugal). ICSLP conferences, coordinated by the Permanent Council for the Organization of International Conferences on Spoken Language Processing (PC-ICSLP), were held in 1990 in Kobe (Japan); in 1992 in Banff (Canada); 1994 in Yokohama (Japan); 1996 in Philadelphia (USA); 1998 in Sydney (Australia); 2000 in Beijing (China); 2002 in Denver (USA); 2004 in Jeju (Korea); 2006 in Pittsburgh (USA). The recent INTERSPEECH conferences were held in 2007 in Antwerp (Belgium), 2008 in Brisbane (Australia), and 2009 in Brighton (UK).
INTERSPEECH conferences include papers on all the scientific and technological aspects of Speech. More than 1.000 participants from all over the world attend the conference and more than 700 papers are presented in oral and poster sessions. Several satellite workshops and a Scientific and Industrial Exhibition highly enrich the conferences' content. Interspeech conferences may be held in any country, although they generally should not occur in the same continent in two consecutive years. The next INTERSPEECH conferences will be held in 2010 in Makuhari (Japan), 2011 in Florence (Italy) and 2012 in Portland (USA).
