Instead of being held as an on-site conference from October 25 to 29 in Shanghai, China, the prescheduled host city, INTERSPEECH 2020 will be a virtual conference with the same dates. To provide our attendees with an unforgettable conference this year, in coordination with the sponsors and partners, the organizers of INTERSPEECH 2020 have devoting much effort in transforming the conference into an online format. In view of the many challenges presented by the pandemic on conference participation, the IS2020 organizers are offering significantly reduced registration fees this year. There will be two types of registrations for the virtual conference – (1) registration for participants with papers to present and (2) registration for participants who are not presenting any paper. Each accepted paper must be covered by a paid registration in order to be included into the conference proceedings.
Registration procedures and fees depend on whether or not you are a member of ISCA. To participate in the conference, you must be an ISCA member during the entire duration of the conference (October 25-29, 2020). To find out ISCA membership, please consult
All registration fees are listed in Euro (€)/ CNY (¥) and include VAT as applicable.
