*** Call For Tutorial Proposals ***
We are requesting proposals for tutorials to be held at the IEEE/CVF
Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV 2026). WACV
2026 is planned as an in-person conference to be held in Tucson,
Arizona, from March 6 - March 10, 2026. Tutorials should be
presented in-person

Accepted tutorials will be presented either on Friday, March 6 or on
Saturday, March 7.

Tutorials should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific
computer vision topic. A good tutorial should be educational rather
than just a cursory survey of techniques, providing technical details
and key insights into the topic and its applications. The topic should
be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant
interest from the computer vision community. The audience for WACV
tutorials typically consists of graduate students studying computer
vision, but also includes researchers and practitioners from academia,
industry, and government. We invite proposals for both half-day and
full-day tutorials, but anticipate that most tutorials will be
half-day, unless the topic is expected to attract widespread community
attention or will require the full day.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format and should not exceed
three pages (excluding biographies). All proposals must include the
following information:

Proposed title
+ Proposers’ names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio
sketches (no more than 200 words and can include links to the
presenter’s webpage or Google Scholar link).

+ Preference for half- or full-day event (the latter requires a brief
justification)

+ Course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a
brief outline and important details; if relevant, include coordination
plan among presenters

+ Expected target audience and the estimated number of attendees

+ List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and products
by the presenters, and to other relevant related work

+ Links to a few previous recorded talks given by the presenters (if
available)

+ Description of and/or links to any planned materials or resources to
be distributed to the tutorial attendees

+ A description of how this proposal relates to tutorials/short
courses appearing at CVPR, ICCV and ECCV within the last three years

+ Social impact of the tutorial (optional)

The proposals will be evaluated based on their educational value,
interest and relevance, and the track record and expertise of the
organizers/presenter. We especially encourage proposals involving
diverse organizing teams and communities currently under-represented
at WACV. We also welcome tutorial topics that address issues in
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Computer Vision applications.

For questions, please contact the tutorial co-chairs.
