The 20th annual Young Researchers' Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems (YRRSDS) will be held in Kyoto University, Japan (collocated with SIGdial) on September 16th and 17th, 2024. YRRSDS 2024 is an open forum for spoken dialog researchers to discuss their work and research interests. This is the 20th edition of the annual roundtable that provides a networking platform for young researchers in the field. It serves as a playground for stimulating new ideas, sharing tools, and discussing current issues in Spoken Dialog Systems research. Please note that by "young researchers" the workshop's organizers mean to target students and researchers in the field who are at a relatively early stage of their careers, and in no way mean to imply that participants must meet certain age restrictions. This year's edition is collocated with SIGDIAL 2024. The workshop this year will be in person. Please refer to the workshop website for the submission link and other details:\ https://sites.google.com/view/yrrsds2024/ Please note that every participant is required to submit a position paper and be registered to the main conference, SIGDIAL 2024.
