Call for Presentation Proposals

Share Your Expertise on Practical Computer Vision and Perceptual AI

The agenda for the 2024 Embedded Vision Summit is full. The call for proposals for the 2025 event will open in October 2025.

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 1,500 product creators, entrepreneurs and business decision-makers who are creating and using vision technology.

The 2024 Summit will take place as a live, in-person event on May 21 – 23, 2024 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 presentation proposals are evaluated for relevance to audience interests, quality of content and the presenter’s public speaking skills.

Important: Talks made 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 give a presentation 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.

Presentation Content

Talks should be substantive, insightful and educational.

For the Technical Insights, Business Insights and Fundamentals tracks, presentations should deliver 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 presentations (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 talk 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 presentations:

  • Presentations should be given by speakers who have strong public speaking skills and subject matter expertise. The Technical Insights, Fundamentals and Enabling Technologies track talks should be presented by individuals in engineering or engineering management roles.
  • We encourage joint presentations with customers and partners.
  • Most presentations will comprise 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.
