As demonstrated by ChatGPT, conversational human-computer interaction is becoming a major requirement for artificial intelligence, where conversations may be verbal, textual, visual, gestural, etc. Coupled with virtual reality and augmented reality, it is expected that conversational computing and communication will revolutionize the way computers are used in our daily lives.

IEEE International Conference on Conversational Data and Knowledge Engineering (CDKE) is an international forum for academia and industries to exchange visions and ideas in the state of the art and practice, as well as to identify the emerging topics and define the future of CDKE.
