About Vail Computer Elements Workshop
VCEW is an exclusive, invitation‑only technical workshop founded in 1970 that brings together Fellows, Distinguished Engineers, chief scientists and industry leaders for high‑level, curated discussions about compute systems and AI hardware/software co‑design.
The workshop is designed as an intimate, off‑the‑record forum (roughly 50–70 attendees) focused on deep technical sessions rather than vendor presentations, and it operates in cooperation with USENIX for program and conference listings.
In recent years VCEW has continued an annual cadence of multi‑day workshops (programs through 2025 and registration posted for 2026), with topic tracks covering processors, memory, AI acceleration, communications, power and sustainability.
