IEEE FG 2027 — 21st IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition

IEEE FG 2027, the 21st IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition, runs 26–30 April 2027 in Marrakesh, Morocco, and is the first edition of the series ever held in Africa. The IEEE Biometrics Council calls FG "the premier international forum for research in image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition". The programme spans advances in fundamental computer vision, pattern recognition and computer graphics; machine learning techniques relevant to face, gesture and body motion; interdisciplinary research on behavioural analysis; and privacy and ethical issues of face and gesture technology. Workshops and tutorials bracket the event on 26 and 30 April, with the main technical conference running 27–29 April. Paper abstracts are due 9 October 2026 and full papers 16 October 2026, with author notifications on 20 December 2026.

Face and gesture systems are where computer vision runs straight into regulation, and FG is where both arrive first. A CTO or head of AI evaluating identity verification, driver monitoring, patient observation or emotion analytics gets a year of primary research compressed into three days, with the doctoral consortium and demonstrations track doubling as a hiring and vendor-scouting channel. The named privacy and ethics topic area matters commercially: it is where the biometric-consent, spoofing and deepfake-detection arguments that end up in procurement rules and audit checklists get settled, well before they reach your compliance team.

• ✓Main technical conference, 27–29 April 2027
• ✓Workshops and tutorials on 26 and 30 April 2027
• ✓Special Sessions track, proposals closed 16 September 2026 with notification 23 September 2026
• ✓Demonstrations track, submissions due 4 January 2027 and notifications 16 January 2027
• ✓Doctoral Consortium, applications due 15 February 2027 and notifications 22 February 2027
• ✓Topic areas: face recognition and biometrics; face analysis and synthesis; gesture recognition, analysis and synthesis; affective computing; privacy and ethical issues

• ★The IEEE Biometrics Council calls FG "the premier international forum" for image- and video-based face, gesture and body-movement recognition, a series running since 1995.
• ★First edition of the conference ever held in Africa, after three decades split between North America, Europe and Asia.
• ★Privacy and the ethical issues of face and gesture technology are a named topic area of the main programme, not a side workshop.
• ★Independently indexed as CCF C / CORE B / Qualis A1, so accepted work carries recognised weight in both academic and industrial hiring.

Pass prices have not been published as of September 2026. The official dates page lists only a conference author registration deadline of 26 January 2027, the same day as the camera-ready deadline — FG is a paid IEEE conference and every accepted paper requires a registered author.
