The IEEE Signal Processing Society is accepting proposals for the 2021 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP®). SPS Members are invited to submit a proposal to host ICASSP. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please reference our guidelines for preparing and submitting a proposal: http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/uploads/conferences/ICASSP_Proposal_Guidelines.pdf

ICASSP is the world’s largest and most comprehensive technical conference focused on signal processing applications. The series is sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and has been held annually since 1976. The conference features world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and over 170 lecture and poster sessions. ICASSP is a cooperative effort of the IEEE Signal Processing Technical Committees:

• Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing
• Bio Imaging and Signal Processing
• Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems
• Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing
• Information Forensics and Security
• Machine Learning for Signal Processing
• Multimedia Signal Processing
• Sensor Array and Multichannel
• Signal Processing Education
• Signal Processing for Communications and Networking
• Signal Processing Theory and Methods
• Speech and Language Processing
• Standing Committee on Industry DSP Technology

To submit a proposal, send a notice of intent to bid to the VP– Conferences and Conference Services Staff at sps-conf-proposals@ieee.org. Include in the notice your contact information and the proposed location. Staff will issue the proposal prescreening submission form and guidelines upon receipt of the letter of intent.
