We are pleased to announce that the 10th Conference of the International Society for Gesture Studies (ISGS 2025) is now open for registration! Register before May 31 to get the best (early bird) rates at https://www.isgs10.nl/registration

The theme of the ISGS2025 is 'Motion to meaning: Innovations in multimodal language research'. Recent technological advances have launched us into a new era of multimodal language research. Innovations in computer vision, virtual reality, motion capture, eye-tracking, large language models, and robotics hold great promise for both quantifying the properties of visual language and uncovering the relationships between motion and meaning across diverse social contexts, languages and speakers. ISGS2025 aims to unite researchers from various fields and perspectives who employ traditional and novel approaches to deepen our knowledge about sign language, gesture use, (neuro)processing, acquisition and learning, and social interaction, among others.

Keynote speakers:
• Erica Cartmill
• Tilbe Göksun
