Vulkanised - Call for Submissions

The organizers are seeking submissions for Vulkanised 2027 from application developers, implementors, thought leaders, researchers, educators and framework and open-source tools providers who would like to share their experiences for the benefit of the Vulkan community. Vulkanised provides a great opportunity to share your work, your ideas, and unique perspectives with your peers in the Vulkan ecosystem. We look forward to seeing your submissions.

Topics of Interest

Technology Talks: Submissions can showcase the use, application or integration with Vulkan on any topic, including but not limited to: Application case studies, using the API, extensions and SDKs, development frameworks and engines, shading languages, profiling and debugging tools, portability, ray tracing, Vulkan profiles and roadmaps, learning Vulkan, best practices, language bindings, video processing, AI and machine learning, safety critical applications, and more.
Applications and Case Studies: We are particularly interested in submissions that present case studies that share insights into how Vulkan was used in real-world applications, games, research and teaching, and covering any genre or application domain. Submissions can cover completed work or work currently in progress and should not shy away from discussing the challenges faced, how they were overcome, areas for improvements and any take-away tips and techniques that will help other developers

See last year's Vulkanised 2026 Program and Presentations for examples.
