In January 2016 Kristiina Jokinen organized an international conference in Saariselkä, Finland: the 7th International Workshop on Spoken Dialogue Systems (IWSDS 2016). The special theme of the conference was Dialogues with Social Robots.

At the conference, members of the Academy of Finland's DigiSami project gave presentations on Internationalisation and localisation of spoken dialogue systems and on DigiSami and Digital Natives: Interaction Technology for the North Sami Language. Graham Wilcock presented the video Towards SamiTalk: a Sami-speaking robot linked to Sami Wikipedia.
