  Automated speech and text interfaces are continuing to improve, resulting in
increased research in the area of dialogue systems. Moreover, conferences and
workshops from various fields are focusing more on language through speech and
text mediums as candidates for interaction with applications such as search
interfaces and robots. In this paper, we explore how visible the SigDial
conference is to outside conferences by analysing papers from top Natural
Langauge Processing conferences since 2015 to determine the popularity of
certain SigDial-related topics, as well as analysing what SigDial papers are
being cited by others outside of SigDial. We find that despite a dramatic
increase in dialogue-related research, SigDial visibility has not increased. We
conclude by offering some suggestions.
