Call for Papers Developers Conference 2026

Call for Papers
The PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2026 call for papers is open!

Accepted submissions will be presented during the Members Implementation track at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference in Santa Clara, CA, on May 6-7, 2026.

During previous PCI-SIG Developers Conferences, some of the highest rated and most attended sessions were from the Members Implementation track. We anticipate similar results at our 2025 DevCon, and are excited to work with selected speakers.

Speaker Guidelines
All speakers should keep in mind that they will be presenting on behalf of PCI-SIG, and therefore the presentations must emphasize specific challenges, issues or methods, and avoid giving the impression of product-focused "sales pitches".

By submitting an abstract you agree that you are committed to presenting at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference that will be held May 6-7, 2026 in Santa Clara, CA if your abstract is selected by PCI-SIG. Please ensure you are available and have the appropriate approvals from your company. Additionally, by submitting an abstract you are indicating that you have reviewed the below timeline and agree to: adhering to the deadlines, providing the necessary deliverables and that you are available during the timeframes outlined below and on the specific event dates.
