Vulkanised 2024
The 6th Vulkan Conference | Sunnyvale, CA. USA | Feb 5-7, 2024
The Premier Vulkan Developer ConferenceVulkanised is the largest event dedicated to developers using the Vulkan API and is a unique technical event that brings the Vulkan developer community together to exchange ideas, solve problems and help steer the future development of the Vulkan API and ecosystem. The Call for Submissions is now closed and the program will be published mid-December.
During the three-day conference developers will learn from leading Vulkan experts and gain real-world insights into the latest Vulkan developments, extensions, applications, techniques, technologies, and tools.
At Vulkanised we are always pleased to hear from new developers, and about use cases, new ideas, and innovative approaches to using Vulkan. We value a diversity of voices, perspectives and experiences and are dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. See our Code of Conduct and Accessibility and Accommodations policies.
About Vulkanised
Vulkanised is organized by the Khronos Group, the open, non-profit, member-driven consortium creating a wide range of advanced royalty free standards, including Vulkan. Vulkanised is designed by and for Vulkan developers with the goal to provide a warm and welcoming event for all to maximize community engagement. As a not-for-profit organization we aim to keep our ticket prices as low as possible to cover our costs.
Learn
The 2024 program will include the latest application case-studies, keynote presentations, panel discussions and technical talks spanning a wide range of topics that matter to anyone using Vulkan. All our sessions are aimed at 3D graphics developers looking to learn more about Vulkan, or who are familiar with 3D APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D, or Metal. We aim to provide graphics developers a wealth of knowledge and best practices.
Connect
Learning from your peers and making connections is crucial and Vulkanised will provide the opportunity to engage with other developers, GPU vendors, and ecosystem partners. Members of the Khronos Vulkan Working Group will also be on hand to answer your questions. To get the most from the event, simply participate in the Q&A and panel discussions, or take the opportunity to network during the breaks, social evening, and conference dinner.
