It is our great pleasure to announce the Call for Sponsors for the 24th International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) Conference, which will be held in Milan, Italy, from November 5-9, 2023.
ISMIR is the largest research venue for scholars, researchers and practitioners in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), an interdisciplinary research area that aims to develop computational tools for processing, analysis, indexing, organizing and accessing music-related data.
ISMIR 2023 offers sponsorship opportunities at the Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels, as described below. By taking this opportunity to become a proud sponsor of the conference, you can showcase your company’s latest products to an international community of MIR researchers and practitioners, recruit top technical talent, and learn about state-of-the-art research and technologies in MIR.
In addition to the main conference sponsorship, we offer the opportunity to support WiMIR (Women in Music Information Retrieval) initiatives and we also welcome sponsorship contributions for specific initiatives, including student travel awards, best paper and presentation awards, and social events.
The deadline for expressing your interest to sponsor ISMIR 2023 and/or WiMIR will be on October 16, 2023.
