What makes Embedded Vision Summit different, and how we build for it
Since 2012 the Embedded Vision Summit has focused on one thing: putting computer vision and physical AI into shipping products.For 2027 it becomes part of SPIE Photonics West, sitting alongside the Vision Tech Forum as part of the Vision Tech Expo, and the free Exhibition Only Pass opens more than 1,400 Photonics West exhibits to Summit visitors. The Summit runs almost 100 sessions, an Enabling Technologies track for commercial processors and tools, an Edge AI Deep Dive Day, a Women in Vision Reception and a 4 pm expo happy hour. Visitors are product creators choosing building blocks, and the Summit says the floor is known for its demos.
A demo they can test themselves: a camera, a processor board and the model running on it, with latency and power figures on screen.
Which building block fits their product, cost and roadmap, explained by the people who built it, plus a quiet spot for a follow-up.
Optics, sensor and laser people who now reach the Summit floor on a free exhibits pass and want to see how their parts feed AI.

Inside Embedded Vision Summit 2027
Embedded Vision Summit rules that shape your booth
The Summit sells a 6-foot table, a 10×10, Sapphire and Emerald 20×10 corners and a Diamond 20×20 island, with member and non-member prices. We build custom corners and islands and supply graphics and counters for tables and 10×10s.
The 6-foot table comes draped with a 500-watt outlet, an ID sign and a waste basket. We size demo lighting and screens to that power budget, or order more through the service forms.
Building-block suppliers pay a sponsorship fee to present on topics related to their products. We match booth graphics to your Diamond or Emerald presentation so attendees find the demo after the talk.
Since joining SPIE Photonics West, registration runs on the Photonics West site and visitors choose Embedded Vision Summit as their interest. We remind your staff to register that way so badges match the booth.
Programs worth planning for
Thursday, February 4, 2027: sponsor-hosted in-depth sessions on visual and physical AI with demos and networking, ticketed with or without a Full Conference Pass.
Talks on commercially available vision processors, tools and technologies, open to Exhibition Only Pass holders in 2027.
A sponsorable reception supporting women professionals in computer vision, alongside the private Executive Networking Reception.
The Embedded Vision Summit is the computer vision and physical AI show for product creators choosing processors, sensors and cameras; choose it over embedded world North America when vision is your product, and the shared week with Photonics West adds optics traffic.

04 Designing for AI processor, image sensor, camera module, vision software and edge AI tool companies at Embedded Vision Summit
Four things we get right for Embedded Vision Summit exhibitors
1Show the camera and the result together
A vision demo only works when the visitor sees what the camera sees and what the model makes of it. We mount the camera in a lit scene the visitor can change, with the detection overlay on a large screen beside the processor board.
2Control the light for the demo
Hall lighting at Moscone West can wash out an imaging demo. We build hoods and controlled backdrops for each station, light the scene with steady LEDs and keep the booth glow off the camera's field of view.
3Built for the 4 pm rush
The Summit closes each expo day with a 4 pm happy hour, and traffic surges between sessions. We leave space for a second row of visitors to watch each demo and give staff a counter to hand off leads fast.
4Speak to Photonics West too
With the Summit now inside Photonics West, optics and sensor engineers walk the same floor. We add a clear line on each station for the optics, sensor and wavelength behind the demo, so both audiences read the booth.
Concept rendering
Every Embedded Vision Summit proposal includes a rendering like this
Layout, graphics, lighting and product positions are all in the 3D view, revised until right, before a single panel is cut for Embedded Vision Summit. This one is a Purple concept for CalligoTech.

Before you sign with anyone
Five things to ask every builder quoting Embedded Vision Summit:
- Will the proposal show every Embedded Vision Summit fee, including show contractor charges?
- Is the booth built in your own shop or by a subcontractor?
- Does your project manager stay on the floor through install and dismantle in San Francisco?
- What does the rental include, and what is billed by Embedded Vision Summit?
- Once Embedded Vision Summit closes, where does the booth go and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Bring it: we refresh the graphics, repair what is worn, ship it, install it at Embedded Vision Summit and store it until the next show. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to Embedded Vision Summit.
Exhibiting from outside the US? For Embedded Vision Summit, we act as your team on the ground: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, and one project manager who answers your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? A Embedded Vision Summit rental carrying your graphics can be ready in two to three weeks. We tell you on the first call what is realistic before Embedded Vision Summit.
