The YRRSDS 2026 will be held on July 31, 2026, at Emory University in Atlanta, directly preceding SIGDIAL 2026. YRRSDS provides a focused, interactive forum for students and early-career researchers working on spoken dialogue systems and related areas, including conversational AI, natural language processing, speech technologies, and human-computer interaction, to present ongoing work, receive feedback, and engage in mentorship and networking opportunities. The workshop emphasizes discussion over presentation, fostering a collaborative environment that supports emerging researchers in refining ideas, building connections, and contributing to the future of dialogue systems research.
