Demos :
We encourage the submission of demos, either as part of papers and reports or as standalone contributions.Performances :
We encourage artists, performers and conference presenters to submit proposals for performances and live demonstrations that employ new musical controllers, novel interface concepts, and/or new mapping systems that can be featured in the concert events.Industrial Demos :
We invite industrial vendors to show products relating to new musical interfaces. Please email our industrial liaison organizer .
