'''New Interfaces for Musical Expression''', also known as '''NIME''', is an international [[Academic conference|conference]] dedicated to scientific research on the development of new technologies and their role in [[musical expression]] and artistic performance.

==History==
The conference began as a workshop (NIME 01) at the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in 2001 in [[Seattle, Washington]], with the concert and demonstration sessions being held at the [[Experience Music Project]] museum. Since then, international conferences have been held annually around the world:
