2nd Dutch Speech Tech Day

Monday, 19 February 2024

Location: Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, Hilversum

The 2nd Dutch Speech Tech Day will take place on Monday February 19, 2024 at Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum. The 2nd Dutch Speech Tech Day follows the first, very successful Dutch Speech Tech Day which took place at the same location in February 2023, and which was attended by more than 100 people from academia, different organisations, and industry.

The 2024 theme is:

Towards inclusive speech technology in research and applications

The Dutch Speech Tech Day connects students, researchers, developers and users of speech technology in the Netherlands. It is an opportunity for participants to learn about the cutting-edge in this field, get informed about new developments, and build networks for collaboration. The Dutch Speech Tech Day is for all people interested in and working on speech technology.

Students can learn about developments in industry and build networks.
Researchers can engage with breakthrough science and find team members for new collaborations.
Developers and users can connect with scientists and industry around topics of shared interest.

As the quality of speech and voice technology has improved dramatically in recent years, there is an increased demand for using it in practical scenarios in a variety of application domains, from interaction with conversational agents and robots via tools in education and e-health to transcription services for individuals and organisations. We notice that the speech and voice technology community in The Netherlands is growing. Bringing this community together will be an excellent opportunity to engage with the newest insights on speech tech from academia, to hear about what companies and governmental organisations are working on, to share experiences and unite people working on speech and voice technology around shared values of inclusivity, innovation and shared purpose.
