The International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) 2026 will take place in a distributed format across three tightly connected hubs on July 28-31, 2026.
This shift acknowledges the need to adapt our conference practices in light of the ongoing climate crisis, and the responsibility we share in reducing the impact of long‑distance travel.
We will offer the following hubs:
By coordinating keynotes, shared sessions, and cross‑hub interactions, the event will retain its international character and single stream conference style, while making participation more accessible and significantly lowering travel-related emissions. Each hub will also offer a regionally tailored program that reflects local strengths and perspectives.
This conference is – as usual – related to auditory display, sonification, sonic interaction design, multimodal data representation, spatial audio and the like.
More information will come soon…
