Vulkanised Europe 2023
The Premier Vulkan Developer Conference and Meetup
Vulkanised is delighted to be back in person! The largest event dedicated to 3D developers using the Vulkan API will take place in the beautiful city of Munich in Germany on Feb 6-7, 2023. Vulkanised 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 public Call for Submissions from the Vulkan developer community is now open and will close Friday, November 4 at 11:59pm AOE.
Over the three days of the event developers will learn from leading Vulkan experts and gain real-world insights into the latest Vulkan developments, extensions, applications, techniques, technologies and tools.
Vulkanised is organised by the Khronos Group and we are always pleased to hear from new developers, and about use cases, new ideas and innovative approaches. 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.
Learn
We have a packed program planned, including the latest application case-studies, keynote presentations, tutorials, workshops, 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 best practices and knowledge.
Connect
Learning from your peers and making connections is crucial and Vulkanised will provide ample opportunity to engage with other developers, GPU vendors and ecosystem partners. Members of the Khronos Working Group that are actively developing the Vulkan API will also be on hand to answer your questions. To get the most from the event simply join in the Q&A sessions and panel discussions, or take the opportunity to network during the breaks, social evening and conference dinner.

Call for Submissions
The organisers are seeking submissions from application developers, thought leaders, researchers, educators and framework and open-source tools providers who are eager to share their experiences for the benefit of the Vulkan community. Vulkanised provides a great opportunity to share your work, your ideas, and unique perspectives with your peers in the Vulkan ecosystem. We look forward to seeing your submissions.
How to Submit a Proposal
Those interested in presenting at Vulkanised Europe 2023 are asked to submit a short proposal including a 250-word synopsis of what the talk, or poster, will be about and what the audience will learn from it.
Topics of Interest
- Technology Talks: Submissions can showcase the use and application of Vulkan on any topic, including but not limited to: Using the API, extension and SDKs, frameworks, tools, engines, profiling and debugging, portability, ray tracing, Vulkan profiles and roadmaps, sample code, best practices, language bindings, video processing, machine learning, shading languages, learning Vulkan, developing safety critical applications, and more.
- Applications and Case Studies We are particularly interested in submissions that present case studies that share insights into how Vulkan was used in real-world applications, games, research and teaching, and covering any genre or application domain. Submissions can cover completed work or work currently in progress and should not shy away from discussing the challenges faced, how they were overcome, areas for improvements and any take-away tips and techniques for developers.
