Targeting at the topics on industry and application trends of emerging signal processing technologies, the ICASSP 2026 organization committee is soliciting presentation proposals for the “Industry Expert Speakers” event that will be held during the conference. Each speaker will be given around 30 minutes oral presentation time followed by a brief Q&A stage (around 6 minutes).

Experts and leaders are invited to submit the proposal for giving such a talk in Either one of the following three formats related to the use of signal processing in industry and practical applications:

1. General overview of one technology area; or
2. In-depth treatment of one specific technical issue; or
3. Special focus on standardization and deployment challenge

Meanwhile, the presentation is also welcome to include a very brief introduction to your organization’s current research and development from a signal processing perspective. Industry expert presentation session will be very attractive, but the space is limited.
