## Call for papers

The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy. ICMI is the premier international forum for advancing research at the intersection of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction to create technically innovative, effective, and human-centered multimodal interactive systems. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature, bringing together research in AI, multimodal data processing, and human-human interaction to bridge behavioral understanding with technology, posing an eye towards impactful applications that benefit people and society. Novelty will be evaluated along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2026 must demonstrate novelty in at least one of these two dimensions. The theme of this year’s conference is “Context and Cultural Awareness for Multimodal Interaction”, to explore how context and cultural factors influence multimodal interaction systems, including their design, implementation, and evaluation. We welcome papers that address the integration of contextual understanding, such as environmental, social, and emotional factors, into multimodal interaction systems. We also encourage contributions that explore cultural considerations in the development and deployment of interactive technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Affective computing and interaction User-adaptive systems Cognitive modelling and multimodal interaction Context-aware modelling Cross-cultural design and evaluation Gesture, touch, and haptics Healthcare, assistive technologies Human communication dynamics Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction Human-centred AI and ethics Interaction with a smart environment Machine learning for multimodal interaction Mobile and wearable multimodal systems Multimodal behaviour generation Multimodal datasets and validation Multimodal dialogue modeling Multimodal fusion and representation Multimodal interactive applications Novel multimodal datasets Spoken/visual behaviours in social interaction System components and multimodal platforms Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Commitment to ethical conduct is mandatory, and submissions must adhere to ethical standards, in particular when human-derived data are employed. Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (https://ethics.acm.org/).
