Conference on Robots and Vision Call for Workshops

The 39th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Canadian AI
2026) and 23rd Conference on Robots and Vision (CRV 2026) are pleased
to invite proposals for workshops to be held alongside the main
conference, which will be held in Vancouver, BC, from May 25-29,
2026.

In addition to the topics of interest for Canadian AI and CRV
conferences, we also encourage proposals that foster interdisciplinary
and transdisciplinary research on applications of AI/Robotics/Vision
and strongly support workshops that are co-chaired by researchers from
different institutions to encourage cross-institutional collaboration
and diversity in perspectives. This year we welcome events that
don't follow traditional workshop formats (which we call
"special topic forums"), in order to facilitate small-group
discussions of preliminary ideas or results and to provide a venue for
gathering feedback and meeting potential collaborators. Please find
more information below.

Workshop Themes:

We invite proposals on a broad range of AI/Robotics/Vision-related
topics, as well as those focusing on novel application areas where
AI/Robotics/Vision can have a transformative impact. Workshops that
bring together researchers from different disciplines and institutions
are highly encouraged, and Proposals with co-organizers from multiple
institutions are particularly welcomed

Workshop Format:

Workshops can be structured as full-day, half-day or quarter-day
events. Suggested formats include a combination of invited talks,
panel discussions, paper presentations, and breakout sessions.

Proposal Submission Guidelines:

Workshop proposals should include the following information:

    Title of the workshop.
    Organizers: Names, affiliations, and contact information of each
    organizer. Proposals with organizers from multiple institutions
    are highly encouraged.

    Topics: A list of topics to be covered, if not immediately clear
    from the title.

    Format: A proposed format (workshop, symposium, breakout session,
    working paper session, roundtable, etc.) and schedule outlining
    the structure of the event (keynotes, discussions, paper
    presentations, etc.).

    Length: full, half or quarter day

    Expected Number of Attendees: Provide a rough estimate for space
    reservation.

    Timeline for Inviting and Reviewing Contributions: The workshop
    paper decisions should be made before April 3, 2026, to enable
    contributors to register by the early registration deadline. We
    suggest setting aside at least two weeks for reviewing workshop
    contributions.

    Potential Invitees: Names of potential or confirmed invitees, if
    applicable.

    Special Requirements: Any specific logistical or technical
    requirements.
