2022 Call for Proposals
Share Your Expertise on Practical Computer Vision and Visual AI
Submit your proposal for a session at the Embedded Vision Summit!
The Embedded Vision Summit is the premier conference on practical computer vision and visual 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 2022 Embedded Vision Summit will take place as a live, in-person event on May 17-19, 2022 in Santa Clara, California. The Summit is 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 visual AI.
All Summit session proposals are evaluated for relevance to audience interests, quality of content and the presenter’s public speaking skills.
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 appearing only in the Enabling Technologies track. 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 vision system and application developers.
Business Insights
Sessions focused on market research, business models, solution-level case studies and high-level technology trends and challenges go in the Business Insights track. These sessions are intended to provide business decision-makers with insights that will help them make important decisions about products, markets and technologies.
Fundamentals
Introductory technical tutorials go in the Fundamentals track. These sessions are intended for those who are new to practical computer vision and visual AI—or to some aspects of it. They provide a fast-track technical learning experience delivering practical know-how that attendees can put to work right away.
Who Can Present
Anyone with relevant experience, products, use cases or specific AI and vision expertise is welcome to propose a session at the Embedded Vision Summit. Sessions from 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 one of our team members below.
Session Topics
The Summit covers a wide range of topics related to practical computer vision and visual AI. We especially welcome sessions on the following topics:
- Top-to-bottom software stacks for vision-based AI systems and applications
- Tools and techniques for training and deployment of deep neural networks
- Using other types of sensors for AI (radar, lidar, speech/audio, etc.), in conjunction with or as alternatives to image sensors
- Depth sensing
- Image sensors and image signal processing
- Tracking
- Assessing algorithm accuracy in real-world applications
- Privacy, security and bias in sensor-based AI systems
- Selecting processors, image sensors, algorithms and development tools
- Low-power and low-cost edge vision 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 of computer vision and visual AI
- Applications in mobile machines (cars, robots, agricultural equipment, etc.)
- Applications in healthcare (medical imaging, home healthcare, etc.)
- Applications in smart spaces (retail analytics, security, etc.)
- Industry and technology trends
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 visual AI applications such as: automotive, robotics, healthcare, security, entertainment, retail, consumer, industrial, etc.
- Computer vision and visual AI design and development techniques: software, algorithms, low-power design, trade-off studies, etc.
- Computer vision and visual AI business opportunities: market data, trends, business models, deployment case studies, etc.
Note: Sessions in the Technical Insights, Business Insights, and Fundamentals tracks may not promote products or services.
For sponsored, product-related sessions (Enabling Technologies track):
- Commercially available components, algorithms and tools that product developers can use to incorporate vision 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 about 10 minutes of Q&A. Selected presentations (especially Fundamentals track presentations) will be about 40 minutes long, plus about 15 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 to submit a proposal has passed, we will consider new proposals until the agenda is full. Space is limited, so submit your presentation now!
