Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision
📅 Tuesday, 5 January 2027 → Saturday, 9 January 2027 in 214 days
WACV 2027 — the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision, Buena Vista, FL, 5–9 January.
WACV 2027, the IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision, takes place 5–9 January 2027 at Disney Springs, Buena Vista, Florida (workshops 5–6 Jan, main conference 7–9 Jan). It is the premier applications-focused computer-vision conference, run with the IEEE Computer Society and the Computer Vision Foundation.
What you gain
WACV pairs rigorous, peer-reviewed research with a deliberately applied emphasis, plus co-located workshops and tutorials. It's known for high quality at relatively low cost — strong value for students, academics and especially industry researchers who want vision work that survives contact with real-world deployment. A two-round submission cycle gives authors more chances to get in.
Where it fits
If CVPR is where vision theory lands, WACV is where it meets practice — detection, recognition, generation and multimodal systems applied to actual products. As computer vision fuses with foundation models, WACV is the venue to see what genuinely works in the field, not just in the benchmark.
