Call for Workshop Proposals

We are soliciting proposals for in-person workshops to be held together with the 18th Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV) 2026 in Osaka, Japan. Workshops will take place on the 14th and 15th of December 2026.

The purpose of workshops is to provide a comprehensive forum on emerging topics that will not be fully explored in the main conference and to encourage in–depth discussion of various technical and application, and community issues in computer vision. We also welcome “Challenge Workshops” that aim to compare new and established methods on common data sets. Workshop registration, venue, as well as proceedings will be handled as part of the main conference by the ACCV organizers.

The selection process for workshop space, time and topic coverage will be competitive. We will consider topic coverage, the proposers’ credentials, the interested audience, and relevance of the topic in the selection process. Please note that proposers may be asked to provide additional information, modify aspects of their proposals, or merge their proposal with other ones.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format (max 4 pages without references, single-column, not less than 10.5 font size) by email to the workshop chairs (accv26-workshops@googlegroups.com) by June 28, 2026 (23:59 AoE time). The candidate workshop organizers will be notified of the decision by July 26, 2026 (23:59 AoE time). When preparing a proposal, please note that ACCV regular paper acceptance notification is on September 20, 2026.

The proposals should include the following information:

1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

• Workshop title
• Topics that will be covered, with descriptions of why they are relevant.
• Description of how this proposal relates to the workshops at previous ACCV and CVPR/ICCV/ECCV etc. (be as specific as possible).

2. ORGANIZERS AND SPEAKERS

• Organizers’ names, titles and affiliations, with one, potentially two, contact emails of reliably responsive organizers.
• Background and experience that makes the proposers well-suited for organizing the workshop, including brief biographies.
• In case this event is part of a workshop series, please provide URLs to the web pages of relevant past events and/or any other relevant information.
• List of invited speakers. Please list only speakers that confirmed or tentatively confirmed their attendance. For each speaker, please indicate if confirmation is tentative or final.

3. LOGISTICS

• Preference for half-day or full-day event (Note that your workshop may be accepted as a half-day event due to space limitation regardless of your request in proposal.)
• Tentative program committee.
• Please indicate one of the following options describing the nature of your event:
  • Workshop is primarily an invited speaker event
  • Workshop is primarily a peer-reviewed paper event (orals/posters)
  • Workshop will have a roughly even split between invited speakers and peer-reviewed papers
  • Please also indicate if you plan to run a competition with your workshop.
• If relevant, please provide a paper review timeline.
• If the workshop includes peer-reviewed papers, will these papers be published in proceedings? (If the answer is yes, you may need to follow the publication schedule of the main conference.)
• If posters are considered, how many are expected? Note that the conference may limit the number of posters based on available space.
• Special space or equipment requests, if any.

4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• After acceptance, workshops will be required to prepare their own websites, separate from the ACCV 2026 webpage. These pages will include workshop details, organizers, dates, submission instructions and, once finalized, the workshop program.
• Accepted workshops must provide their program material using a conference Google sheet for producing program/app information.
