To address the need for more frequent networking opportunities, AVIOS is supporting the creation of Local Chapters. This will provide a forum for people interested in speech technology across all dimensions – research, application development, or marketing – to convene more frequently and to learn more about advances in their own region.

The Israeli Local chapter was officially announced in 2005 and has change the face of the speech community by creating a forum for people to meet, exchange views and interact.

Dr. Nava Shaked is the chairperson of the Israeli chapter and is also an active member of the AVIOS board. Over the years the nationwide annual AVIOS meeting in Israel has made a name for itself.
