Party for 1st year students near my house. All r singing "Let it go" from the top of their lungs. First thought: oh that is cute, they are singing a children's song. Then realisation hit: the song came out in 2013 when most of them were 5/6 years old. It is their childhood song! Feeling my age now.

Day 1 is a wrap! We had an amazing opening of @interspeech.bsky.social, followed by a well-attended General Assembly where I stepped down as ISCA President. The moment was a little emotional to me. Serving our amazing community for 8 years has been so rewarding.

Correct. And thus perfect for online conferences. One could think that it would also be good for hybrid conferences. We looked into it, but making an in person conference such as Interspeech hybrid would double the costs for A/V and venue. We had not expected this but had to decide against hybrid.

Please note that although I am quite aware of what is happening in the US, it is impossible for me/ us not in the US to understand the full extent of what is happening which makes it also harder to see what kind of actions might be needed from us or what we could do.

This is a great suggestion. We have not thought about that (probably because there are so many issues we need to solve due to the geopolitical situation and other issues). Please contact the TPC with me in cc. I'm currently on holiday and might forget to do so. Thank you.

Yes, I fully understand your frustration but we as organisers share it. Despite our very best efforts, there are many (financial) issues and problems we can't

to young researchers, running from 500 to 2500 euros, in top of the lower prices for students. Still, the reality is that large conferences such as ICASSP and Interspeech remain expensive.
Re alternative presenters: unfortunately we need to have a policy that a paper needs to be presented for it to

..rates (I agree with you on that), we are not making a profit. In fact, we are still on a negative budget. It is extremely hard to organise such a large conference and keep the rates low.
Re your point in the global south: again I agree. ISCA and Interspeech offer around 40K for travel grants
