We are soliciting proposals for workshops to be held together with the 2020 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR 2020). The workshops will take place on June 14, 15 and 19 at the same venue as the main conference. The purpose of workshops is to provide a comprehensive forum on topics that will not be fully explored during the main conference and to encourage in-depth discussion of technical and application issues. The CVPR 2020 organizers will collect workshop registrations, provide facilities, and distribute electronic copies of the workshop proceedings.

In the past few years, the number of workshop proposals has been increasing rapidly. Due to space and time limitations, as well as to encourage diversity of topic coverage, we will only be able to retain a limited number of proposals. Therefore, we encourage the workshop organizers to submit proposals that are specific and detailed in justifying relevance and viability.

When preparing a proposal please note that CVPR 2020 author notification is on Feb 23, 2020.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format by email to workshops-cvpr2020@googlegroups.com by Friday, September 13th, 2019 [11.59pm Pacific Standard Time]. The proposals should include the following information:

1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

    Workshop title.
    Topics that will be covered, with descriptions of why they are relevant.
    Description of how this proposal relates to previous workshops at CVPR/ICCV/ECCV etc. (be as specific as possible).

2. ORGANIZERS AND SPEAKERS

    Organizers' names, titles and affiliations, with one, potentially two, contact emails of reliably responsive people.

    Please also indicate if you plan to run a competition with your workshop.
    If relevant, please provide a paper review timeline.
    If the workshop includes peer reviewed papers, will these papers be published in proceedings?
    If posters are considered, how many are expected? Note that the conference may limit the number of posters based on available space.
    Special space or equipment requests, if any.

Additional information on workshop organization: 

    After acceptance, workshops will be required to prepare their own websites, separate from the CVPR 2020 webpage. These pages will include workshop details, organizers, dates, submission instructions and, once finalized, the workshop program.

    Accepted workshops must provide their program material using a conference googles-sheet for producing program/app information.
