Vulkanised returns to Europe in 2027, where we will be graciously hosted by [Howest University of Applied Sciences](https://howest.be). During the conference developers will learn from leading Vulkan experts and gain real-world insights into the latest Vulkan developments, extensions, applications, techniques, technologies, and tools. Similar to 2026, the [Real-Time Shading Symposium](#sl-symposium) is co-located with and occurs immediately after Vulkanised 2027. The Real-Time Shading Symposium focuses on the shader ecosystem including shader development workflows, production pain points, emerging techniques, and the evolution of shading languages and tools that power modern real-time rendering [STAY INFORMED ](#newsletter) Designed for Vulkan Developers ## About Vulkanised Vulkanised is organized by the [Khronos Group](https://www.khronos.org), the open, non-profit, member-driven consortium that manages the Vulkan standard. Vulkanised is designed by and for Vulkan developers with the goal of providing a warm and welcoming event for the Vulkan community. View the [Vulkanised Archive](#vulkanised-archive) for previous programs. As a not-for-profit organization we aim to keep our [registration fees](#registration) as low as possible to just cover our costs. LEARN FROM EXPERTS ## Learn The 2027 program will include keynote presentations, technical talks, a panel discussion, and application case-studies spanning a wide range of topics that matter to everyone using Vulkan. All our sessions are aimed at 3D graphics developers looking to learn more about Vulkan, and may already be familiar with Vulkan or 3D APIs such as OpenGL, Direct3D, WebGPU, or Metal. ENGAGE WITH EXPERTS ## Connect Learning from your peers and making connections is crucial and Vulkanised provides a unique opportunity to engage with other developers, GPU vendors, ecosystem partners, and members of the Vulkan Working Group. To get the most from the event simply participate in the presentations and panel discussions, and network during the welcome reception, breaks, and conference dinner.
