Brisbane – Australia’s New World City
Brisbane provides a beautiful location for ICASSP 2015 with its picturesque winding river, attractive modern buildings, a thriving retail centre, excellent restaurants and most importantly – year-round pleasant weather.

Brisbane is a diverse city with one of the fastest growing economies in Australia. It is a city of alluring character: from its distinctive architecture (the charming ‘Queenslanders’ and worker’s cottages that line inner-surburban streets) to its swimming beach right in the middle of the CBD.

We hope you are able to join us in Brisbane for the 40th IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) 2015, the conference’s best year yet.
