Call for Proposals
Share Your Expertise on Practical Computer Vision and Perceptual AI
Submit your session proposal today!
The Embedded Vision Summit is the premier conference on practical computer vision and perceptual AI, covering technologies and techniques for the entire spectrum of applications including consumer, automotive, health and fitness, industrial, retail and more.
It attracts a unique audience of more than 1,000 product creators, entrepreneurs and business decision-makers who are creating and using vision technology.
The 2023 Summit will take place as a live, in-person event on May 22-25, 2023 in Santa Clara, California. It’s known for high-quality, relevant content, so it’s the ideal venue for sharing your insights and getting the word out about new technologies, techniques, applications, products and practical breakthroughs in computer vision and perceptual AI.
All Summit session proposals are evaluated for relevance to audience interests, quality of content and the presenter’s public speaking skills.
Although the deadline for session proposals has passed, we will continue to accept proposals until the agenda is full. Space is limited, so submit your presentation idea now!
Session Formats
To maximize audience learning and engagement, Summit sessions will have a variety of formats, including:
- Interviews
- Round-table discussions
- Expert Bars (dedicated to audience Q&A on a specific topic)
- Presentations
Important: Sessions presented by companies that supply building-block technologies (such as processors, software tools, algorithms, sensors, camera modules, data labeling services) require a sponsorship fee if the topic of the session is related to the company’s products (for example, describing the technology underlying the product or a use case of the product). Please contact us for sponsorship details. (If you would like to host a session on a product that has not yet been announced, please contact us to discuss options for limiting the information that we will make public prior to the Summit.
Session Tracks
Enabling Technologies
Sessions from companies that supply building-block technologies (such as processors, software tools, algorithms, sensors, camera modules and data labeling services) on topics related to the company’s products. Examples include describing the technology underlying the product or a use case of the product. Note: sponsorship required.
Technical Insights
Sessions focused on peer-to-peer technical education at an intermediate or advanced level go in the Technical Insights track. In these sessions, experienced engineers present techniques, trade-offs and case studies useful to system and application developers. (Companies that supply building-block technologies may not present sessions in this track on topics related to the company’s products.)
Business Insights
Fundamentals
Who Can Present
Anyone with relevant experience, products, use cases or specific AI or vision expertise is welcome to propose a session. Sessions by companies that supply building-block technologies on topics related to the company’s products are available only to Edge AI and Vision Alliance Member companies.
For information about sponsoring a session, a Technology Exhibit or other elements of the Summit, please contact our team below.
Session Topics
The Summit will continue to include a wide range of topics related to practical computer vision and perceptual AI applications at the edge. We especially welcome session proposals on the following topics:
- Top-to-bottom software stacks for vision-based AI systems and applications
- Practical approaches to deep learning at the edge
- Tools and techniques for training and deployment of deep neural networks
- Using other types of sensors for AI (radar, lidar, sound, etc.), in conjunction with or as alternatives to image sensors
- Sensor fusion
- Depth sensing
- Tracking
- Audio and speech perception techniques and applications
- Assessing algorithm accuracy in real-world applications
- Privacy, security and bias in sensor-based AI systems
- Understanding and selecting processors, sensors, lenses, algorithms and development tools
- Low-power and low-cost edge perception and machine learning
- Edge-cloud trade-offs
- Federated learning and edge learning
- Obtaining and managing training data (including synthetic data and data augmentation)
- Edge AI DevOps (“MLops”)
- Enterprise and consumer applications applications of computer vision and perceptual AI
- Applications in mobile autonomous machines (cars, robots, drones, etc.)
- Applications in healthcare (medical imaging, home healthcare, etc.)
- Applications in smart spaces (retail analytics, security, etc.)
Session Content
Sessions should be substantive, insightful and educational.
For the Technical Insights, Business Insights and Fundamentals tracks, sessions should present practical insights, data and techniques that attendees can put to use whether or not they use your company’s products. Examples include:
- Computer vision and perceptual AI applications such as: automotive, robotics, healthcare, security, entertainment, retail, consumer, industrial, etc.
- Computer vision and perceptual AI design and development techniques: software, algorithms, low-power design, trade-off studies, etc.
- Computer vision and perceptual AI business opportunities: market data, trends, business models, deployment case studies, etc.
For sponsored, product-related sessions (Enabling Technologies track):
- Commercially available components, algorithms and tools that product developers can use to incorporate computer vision or perceptual AI into systems, chips and applications.
- While a session in this track can be about your company’s product, content should be educational rather than promotional in substance and tone.
Speakers and Logistics
We’re looking forward to hearing what you have to say!
Here are some important details about sessions:
- Sessions should be presented by speakers who have strong public speaking skills and subject matter expertise. The Technical Insights, Fundamentals and Enabling Technologies track sessions should be presented by individuals in engineering or engineering management roles.
- We encourage joint presentations with customers and partners.
- Most sessions will be comprised of up to 20 minutes of prepared content and 5 minutes of Q&A. Selected presentations (especially Fundamentals track presentations) will be up to 40 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for Q&A.
- All talks must use the Embedded Vision Summit PowerPoint template. The template includes a place for your company logo.
Deadline: Although the deadline for session proposals has passed, we will continue to accept proposals until the agenda is full. Space is limited, so submit your presentation idea now!
