2 June 2026: The IEEE Signal Processing Society is now accepting final appeals for any paper removals due to non-presented papers (no-shows) for ICASSP 2026. Appeals must be received by 9 June 2026. Please allow two weeks for review and processing, with final decisions expected by 26 June 2026. The decision of this last appeal will be considered final.
Appeal requests will not be considered or approved if any of the following conditions are true:
- For poster paper appeals: there was a poster on the board, but there was no presenter for most of the session. Please note that, as specified in Section 7.6.3 of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Policy and Procedures Manual, “For poster sessions, if the speaker is not present in front of the poster for most of the time during the poster session, this implies ‘no show’.”
- The poster or lecture paper was presented by a proxy or someone who is not an author listed on the paper, without the substitute having been approved in writing in advance of the conference by the ICASSP 2026 Organizing Committee. See Qualified Proxy Policy here: https://2026.ieeeicassp.org/sps-policies/
- An approved proxy presented the poster or lecture paper, but was unqualified or unable to answer questions about the paper. Please remember the following message, which was shared with the proxy request. The proxy presenter must be qualified and able to answer questions; the final decision on paper acceptance will depend on the proxy’s performance, as reflected in the Session Chairs’ comments.
Appeals can be submitted via this form. Email appeals will not be accepted. Please ensure accuracy and completeness of all required information prior to submitting the appeal.
Appeals will be reviewed following the deadline and decided upon by the IEEE Signal Processing Society Vice President, Conferences.
