        <p>The Workshop on Intelligent Conversation Agents in Home and Geriatric Care Applications, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS) 2018 in Stockholm, brought together geriatricians and researchers working on different aspects of intelligent conversational agents and related topics in health and geriatric care. Its proceedings consist of eight papers. The first of them is based on the invited talk by Gerhard Eschweiler and presents an introduction to the geriatric care and its needs and challenges, including the ethical challenges and ethical assessment strategies. The other seven papers tackle a variety of technical aspects of the area, including, e.g., dialogue models for conversational agents that target elderly users, multiple party and multiple domain coaching agent setups, prosody modelling for reading aloud applications for elderly, and feedback provision to elderly, based on information obtained from sensors in their environment. The preparation of the Proceedings of the Intelligent Conversation Agents in Home and Geriatric Care Applications Workshop was a challenging team effort. We would like to thank all authors for submitting their work and our keynote speaker. We are also grateful to the members of the Program Committee for their remarkable effort and the high quality of the reviews, and to the Workshop Chairs of the Federated AI Meeting (FAIM) 2018, which gathered under its umbrella AAMAS, IJCAI, ICML, ICCBR and SoCS, for their support.</p>
