vektorokon

Vektorokon is a recurring international convention that centers on vectors and their multifaceted applications across mathematics, physics, computer science, and digital media. The name combines the Finnish word for vector, vektori, with the convention suffix kon, reflecting its linguistic inspiration. The event brings together researchers, educators, students, and professionals to explore vector theory, algorithms, and vector-based technologies—from geometric methods and linear algebra to graphics, simulation, and data visualization.

The conference is typically held annually in rotating host cities, with both in-person and online participation. It is organized by a non-profit committee drawn from universities, research institutes, and industry partners, and is supported by academic institutions and professional societies. Program formats usually include keynote talks, parallel paper sessions, poster presentations, tutorials, and hands-on workshops. Exhibitions by software developers and hardware vendors are common, along with student contests and awards.

Topics covered span vector calculus and linear algebra; numerical methods for vector fields; vector graphics and rendering; geographic information systems; robotics and simulation; and visualization of high-dimensional data. Proceedings are often published in open-access formats and archived for future reference, and the event maintains online resources for recordings and slides.
