ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Sonification has been a research emphasis within the Incubator since its inception in 2014, and the College is pleased to strengthen this priority further by hosting ICAD 2017.

ICAD 2017 will be hosted at Penn State June 20-23, 2017.
