OpenCV is organizing the 2nd annual OpenCV-SID Conference on Computer Vision and AI (OSCCA) to be held on May 4th 2026 in Los Angeles, and in conjunction with Display Week, the premier gathering of display technology professionals.
The conference will consist of speeches from 5 visionaries in the CV & AI field, as well as a workshop curated by OpenCV CEO Dr. Satya Mallick.
Talks & Speakers
We have curated an awesome slate of speakers from around the worlds of computer vision, AI, robotics, and automation, guaranteed to teach you something and inspire you.
Doug Fidaleo (Disney Research Imagineering)
Doug Fidaleo holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, with expertise spanning image processing, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. As Director of the Disney Research Imagineering lab, he has led work on applied AI for theme park experiences, including the development of D3-O9, an AI concierge droid for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
Gary Bradski (Founder, OpenCV & CSO Bonsai Robotics)
Gary Bradski is a leading entrepreneur and researcher in computer vision and machine learning who founded OpenCV, the world’s most popular computer vision library. He also organized the computer vision team for Stanley, the autonomous car that won the $2M DARPA Grand Challenge and helped kick off the autonomous driving industry. Today he works with Bonsai Robotics in the role of Chief Science Officer.
Shawn Frayne (CEO, Looking Glass Factory)
A graduate of MIT, Shawn Frayne has been pursuing “the dream of the hologram” for over 20 years, earning dozens of patents around the world, the Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award, and recognition as one of Discover Magazine’s “20 Best Brains Under 40.” He is the CEO and co-founder of Looking Glass Factory, a Brooklyn-based startup that makes holographic displays that groups of people can view and interact with without any VR or AR headgear requirements.
Matt Flagg (CSO, Code19 Racing)
Matt Flagg holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech, specializing in computer vision, graphics, and human-computer interaction, and previously co-founded PlayMotion, a gesture recognition company that deployed camera systems across Disney parks, hospitals, and museums — as well as contributing to a 3D scanning system that won a technical Oscar at Industrial Light & Magic. He now serves as Chief Science Officer at Code 19 Racing, the world’s first professional autonomous motorsports team, where he applies his deep computer vision expertise to building AI systems that make split-second decisions at race speed.
Oya Aran (Procter & Gamble)
Oya Aran is a Director of R&D Data Science and AI at Procter & Gamble, with a strong record of academic and industry achievements in deep learning, computer vision, and generative AI, with a focus on human behavior understanding. She leads a team of data and AI scientists working on computer vision, synthetic data generation, 3D human modeling, large vision and language models, and robotics across multiple organizational units.
Glenn Jocher (CEO, Ultralytrics)
Glenn Jocher is the Founder and CEO of Ultralytics who maintain Ultralytics YOLO, the world’s fastest and most accurate object detection AI. With over 2.5 billion daily model inferences across industries ranging from robotics to healthcare to manufacturing, Ultralytics YOLO models are among the most widely used in computer vision. Glenn won’t be attending OSCCA in person, but will be giving a recorded talk during our exclusive networking lunch.
Workshop: Vision-Language Models in Practice: Building Multimodal AI Systems
Are you a software engineer, AI developer, or technical leader interested in applying generative AI to modern computer vision systems? This three-hour workshop introduces the emerging class of vision-language models (VLMs) and demonstrates how they can be combined with classical vision techniques to build powerful multimodal applications.
The session focuses on practical engineering workflows, showing how these models can be used to solve real-world problems ranging from intelligent image search to visual reasoning systems. Special attention is given to architectures that can run in resource-constrained or edge environments, making the techniques relevant for mobile, embedded, and production deployments.
