SANE 2024 - Speech and Audio in the Northeast

October 17, 2024

SANE 2024, a one-day event gathering researchers and students in speech and audio from the Northeast of the American continent, will be held on Thursday October 17, 2024 at Google, in Cambridge, MA.

It is the 11th edition in the SANE series of workshops, which started in 2012 and is typically held every year alternately in Boston and New York. Since the first edition, the audience has steadily grown, with a record 200 participants and 51 posters in 2023.

SANE 2024 will feature invited talks by leading researchers from the Northeast as well as from the wider community. It will also feature a lively poster session, open to both students and researchers.

Poster Session (Submission deadline: 09/30)

If you would like to present a poster, please send an email to with a brief abstract describing what you plan to present. Poster submission deadline is September 30.
Note that SANE is not a peer-reviewed workshop, and you can present work that has been or will be submitted elsewhere (if the other venue does not explicitly forbids it). As SANE participants will be a mix of audio signal processing, speech, and machine learning researchers, the poster session will be a great opportunity to foster discussion as well as get feedback and comments from various perspectives on your most recent work.
