Embedded Vision Summit 2027
by Edge AI and Vision Alliance, operated by SPIE within Photonics West
The computer vision, edge AI and physical AI conference for teams shipping products, now inside SPIE Photonics West
About This Event
The Embedded Vision Summit 2027 is a three-day conference and expo on computer vision, edge AI and physical AI at Moscone West in San Francisco on February 2-4, 2027. It is organised by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance and, starting this edition, run by SPIE as a distinct conference inside Photonics West (January 30 to February 4, 2027), which draws over 23,000 attendees. That is the big change from 2026, when the Summit was held on its own in Santa Clara. The programme has 90+ sessions across four tracks (Physical AI, Real-World Autonomy, Prototype to Product, and Emerging Edge AI), plus an Edge AI Deep Dive Day, paid vision-language-model training courses and 60+ exhibitors. The organiser reports more than 1,400 participants, including engineers, product managers and executives building vision-enabled products.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓CTOs and VPs of Engineering at hardware and device companies
- ✓Product managers for vision-enabled products
- ✓Computer vision and ML engineers
- ✓Robotics and autonomy leaders
- ✓Embedded systems architects
- ✓Investors in edge AI
Why Attend
If your roadmap puts cameras and AI into devices such as robots, vehicles, factory lines or retail and security systems, this is where you can pick processors, inference software and vision-language-model approaches in one trip. The four tracks match the decisions a CTO actually faces, from prototype to production, real-world autonomy and edge silicon. Meeting 60+ exhibitors next to Photonics West's sensor and optics supply chain shortens sourcing, and the VLM training upskills an engineering team in a day.
Event Features
- ✓Physical AI track
- ✓Real-World Autonomy track
- ✓Prototype to Product track
- ✓Emerging Edge AI track
- ✓Edge AI Deep Dive Day: 3-4 hour technical deep-dive sessions ($25 each)
- ✓Vision-Language Model training, introductory and advanced courses
- ✓Enabling Technologies track and expo with 60+ exhibitors
- ✓Co-located with SPIE Photonics West (Jan 30 - Feb 4, 2027)
- ✓Women in Vision Reception
What Makes This Unique
- ★Product-deployment focus: the four tracks follow the path from prototype to shipping product, rather than research results
- ★From 2027 it sits inside SPIE Photonics West, putting edge-AI software in the same building as the optics, imaging-sensor and photonics supply chain
- ★Attendee-reported outcomes: the organiser says 88% of 2026 attendees connected with potential suppliers or customers and 99% would recommend it
- ★15-year-old community event from the independent Edge AI and Vision Alliance, with a low-cost $199 exhibits pass
