Driven by the commercial success of intelligent personal assistant devices such as Alexa and Google Home, to the growth of the use of chatbots in commercial settings, the number of natural language and conversation based interactions is growing. Based on a successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation conference in 2019, CUI 2020 aims to further develop a collaborative community around human-computer interaction issues in speech and language technology, with specific interest in theory based and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text based conversational user interfaces. CUI 2020 looks to bring together relevant communities (e.g. ISCA, ACM SIGCHI, CogSci) to publish, disseminate and showcase high quality cutting edge research related to the field, promote insight and debate in this interesting and important discipline within language interfaces.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><b class="">**** Organising committee ****</b></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">María Inés Torres (Universidad del País Vasco, UPV/EHU, Spain)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Stephan Schlögl (MCI Management Center, Innsbruck, Austria)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Benjamin Cowan (University College Dublin, Ireland)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Heloisa Candello (IBM Research Lab, Brazil)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Stuart Reeves (University of Nottingham, UK)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Minha Lee (Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Cornelius Glackin (Intelligent Voice Ltd.)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Cosmin Munteanu (University of Toronto Mississauga, Canada)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Donald McMillan (Stockholm University, Sweden)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Janice Tsai (Mozilla, USA)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Martin Porcheron (University of Nottingham, UK)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Moira McGregor (Stockholm University, Sweden)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Christine Murad (University of Toronto, Canada)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Asier López-Zorrilla (Universidad del País Vasco, UPV/EHU, Spain)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Leigh Clark (Swansea University, UK)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Raquel Justo (Universidad del País Vasco, UPV/EHU, Spain)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Javier Mikel Olaso (Universidad del País Vasco, UPV/EHU, Spain)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">Leila Ben Letaifa Zouari (University of Sousse, Tunisia)</div></body></html>
