FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS ABSTRACTS DUE Dec 10, 2026
2027 International Image Sensor Workshop
The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler, BC, Canada
June 13-17, 2027

The 2027 International Image Sensor Workshop (IISW) provides a biennial opportunity to present innovative work in the area of solid-state image sensors and share new results with the image sensor community. The event is intended for image sensor technologists; in order to encourage attendee interaction and a shared experience, attendance is limited, with strong acceptance preference given to workshop presenters. As is its tradition, the 2027 workshop will emphasize an open exchange of information among participants in an informal, secluded setting besides Whistler, BC, Canada.

The scope of the workshop includes all aspects of electronic image sensor design and development. In addition to regular oral and flash presentation papers, the workshop will include invited talks and announcement of International Image Sensors Society (IISS) Award winners.
