5.4 TECHNICAL PROGRAM CHAIRPERSON

The position of Technical Program Chairperson is a key position, nearly as important as that of the General Chairperson. This is the first officer normally selected, and this appointment requires the consent of the Conference Board.

The Technical Program Chairperson should have experience in the writing, reviewing, and presentation of technical papers and in organizing, chairing, and presenting at ICASSP. The person chosen must be of substantial technical stature and managerial skill to get a first class job done expeditiously.

The Technical Program Chairperson is responsible for implementing all phases of the ICASSP technical program. This includes:

1.
Leadership and stimulation of the technical program.
2.
Developing the Call-for-Papers with the Technical Committees.
3.
Initiation of plenary, or invited sessions.
4.
Coordination of the tutorials with the SP Education Committee
5.
Establishing a review policy with the Technical Committees, and submitting it to the Conference Board for approval.
