CVPR 2026 Demonstrations
CVPR 2026 Demonstrations Demo Chairs : Shu Kong, Sathyanarayanan Aaker Demo Submission Due Date : Mar 20, 2026 11:59 PM AOE or Demo Acceptance Notification Date : Apr 10, 2026 Demonstrations : June 5-7, 2026 Email: cvpr2026-demos@googlegroups.com Applications for demos at CVPR 2026 are now open. If accepted, your demo will have a booth that is next to and concurrent with the CVPR poster session where you can show off your work to thousands of CVPR presenters and attendees. Demos can be as complicated as a robotics demonstration or as simple as an app running on a phone or laptop — the goal is to provide a compelling and intimate platform for engaging with other CVPR presenters and attendees. Demos can be associated with a publication at CVPR 2026 (or at any other conference), but this is not a requirement, and demos that do not correspond to any publication are encouraged. Submissions from veteran CVPR attendees and those who have never attended before are welcome. To submit your demo proposal, fill out the form here . Our committee will be awarding a “best demo” award, which will come with a prize. IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you submit a demo and it is accepted, you should plan on attending CVPR in person. All submissions will be reviewed. Please note that the demo track is not intended to serve as a showcase for mature commercial products, as this is the purpose of the CVPR Expo / Exhibitor Program. Companies should be either sponsors or exhibitors in the CVPR Expo / Exhibitor Program. Email the CVPR 2026 demo chairs at cvpr2026-demos@googlegroups.com if you have any questions.
