Vulkanised 2027

The 9th Vulkan Developer Conference | Europe | Feb 8-10, 2027 (Provisional)

The Premier Conference for Vulkan Developers and Implementors

Vulkanised is the largest annual 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. During the conference developers will learn from leading Vulkan experts and gain real-world insights into the latest Vulkan developments, extensions, applications, techniques, technologies, and tools.

As in 2026, the Shading Languages Symposium is expected to be co-located and run immediately after Vulkanised 2027. The symposium focuses on the evolving shader landscape and the emerging technologies, rendering paradigms that are shaping the next generation of graphics programming.

STAY INFORMED

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.

Designed for Vulkan Developers

About Vulkanised

Vulkanised is organized by the Khronos Group, the open, non-profit, member-driven consortium that manages the Vulkan standard. Vulkanised is designed by and for Vulkan developers with the goal of providing a warm and welcoming event for the Vulkan community. View the Vulkanised Archive for previous programs. As a not-for-profit organization we aim to keep our registration fees as low as possible to just cover our costs.

LEARN FROM EXPERTS

Learn

The 2027 program will include keynote presentations, technical talks, a panel discussion, and application case-studies spanning a wide range of topics that matter to everyone using Vulkan. All our sessions are aimed at 3D graphics developers looking to learn more about Vulkan, and may already be familiar with Vulkan or 3D APIs such as OpenGL, Direct3D, WebGPU, or Metal.

ENGAGE WITH EXPERTS

Connect

Learning from your peers and making connections is crucial and Vulkanised provides a unique opportunity to engage with other developers, GPU vendors, ecosystem partners, and members of the Vulkan Working Group. To get the most from the event simply participate in the & and panel discussions, or network during the welcome reception, breaks, and conference dinner.
