Welcome to Interspeech 2025!

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 26th edition of the Interspeech Conference, to be held August 17-21, 2025, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The theme of Interspeech 2025 is "Fair and Inclusive Speech Science and Technology", and aims to celebrate and incorporate the vast speech diversity both within and between individuals, as well as within and between languages. This theme emphasizes diversity as a source of richness and information, contributing to the development of fairer, more robust, and personalized speech technology applications and more accurate theories of human speech processing. By embracing this diversity, we can create theories and technologies that are inclusive of everyone, ensuring that speech science and technology benefit all individuals and communities.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rotterdam for a conference filled with insightful discussions, innovative research, and opportunities to advance the fields of speech science and technology and make it fairer, more inclusive, and more equitable.

Conference banqueting/party

Join us for an unforgettable evening on Wednesday, 20 August at the Stadshaven Brewery!

Interspeech would not be Interspeech without a magnificent party!

We have put together a fantastic party for you at the Stadshaven Brewery in Rotterdam (including transportation).

The Stadshaven Brewery is famous for its great venue, a very tasty selection of local craft beer, and not to forget a special prize-winning beer cocktail for which they designed their own beer-cocktail-mixing system!

Would you like to tap your own beer? That’s also possible - check out the unique beer tables where you can tap your own fresh pour!

Not a beer fan? No worries! We’ve got you covered with a wide variety of non-alcoholic and wine options.

Hungry? Outside, you’ll find a diverse lineup of food trucks offering delicious options for meat lovers, fish enthusiasts, vegetarians, and vegans alike. We’re mindful of your dietary needs, though please note we cannot provide halal or kosher meals.

And of course there will be ample opportunity for dancing! Get ready to enjoy Acoustic Jukebox, a live band that truly lives up to their name—they’ll play almost any song on request. Feeling bold? Grab the mic and sing along with them!

Prefer a quieter vibe? We’ve also set aside a relaxed space for catching up and conversation.

Haven’t grabbed your ticket yet? No worries! You can still secure your spot by updating your registration or simply emailing us at registration@interspeech2025.org. We’ll take care of the rest.

Tickets are €150 for regular delegates and €75 for students.

Your ticket includes all food, drinks, and convenient bus transportation to the brewery.

Don’t miss out on this special night of great brews, tasty bites, live music, and fantastic company!

Interspeech 2025 will delve into four specific strands, each addressing critical aspects of speech science and technology that foster inclusivity and fairness. These strands are:

Factors Arising from the Individual in Human Speech Processing
- Exploration of individual differences in speech processing.
- Understanding how personal factors influence speech perception and production.
- Development of personalized speech technology applications.
Under-Researched Languages, Dialects, and Accents
- Focus on linguistic diversity and the inclusion of under-researched languages and dialects.
- Efforts to develop speech technologies that accommodate a wide range of accents.
- Promotion of research that highlights the richness of global linguistic diversity.

Inclusive Technology for Atypical Speech Communication
- Development of multi-modal and adaptive systems for atypical speech communication.
- Creation of technologies that assist individuals with speech impairments.
- Emphasis on inclusivity in speech technology to support all communication needs.
Ethical Considerations about Fairness, Inclusion, and Democratization of Speech Technologies
- Examination of ethical issues related to speech technology development and deployment.
- Discussion on ensuring fairness and inclusion in speech technology.
- Strategies for democratizing access to speech technology to benefit all societal segments.

By addressing these strands, Interspeech 2025 aims to advance speech science and technology in a manner that is equitable, inclusive, and respectful of individual and linguistic diversity.
