*** 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.
