The VLSID 2026 conference provides a premier platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to explore how advances in VLSI Design and Embedded Systems can drive disruptive innovations for the next generation of computing, communication, and intelligent systems.

Call for Tutorials

The VLSID 2026 Organizing Committee invites proposals for high-quality, in-depth tutorials to be delivered in person on the day preceding the main conference.

Tutorials should aim to provide a strong foundation in established areas, highlight recent advances, and explore emerging trends within the VLSI domain. We welcome contributions from academia, industry, and research institutions, spanning both core topics and interdisciplinary fields.

This is an opportunity to share your expertise with a broad and engaged audience while contributing to the technical depth of the conference.

Important Details

• Tutorial Lengths:
  • 90-minute tutorials (short-format)
