NextGCom 2026 will feature Demo and Poster Sessions with the aim of providing research/platform/product demonstrations and exhibits, from both academia and industry that validate important research issues and/or show innovative prototypes. More specifically:
(a) The Demo Session offers a great opportunity to showcase innovative research or product prototypes, systems, software and hardware platforms, and novel applications. We also welcome live demos reproducing results of papers presented at NextGCom 2026, as well as other relevant venues.
(b) The Poster Session provides an excellent opportunity for initial feedback on early research results or dissemination of the research outputs by ongoing or recently concluded research projects. This Session will be particularly useful for early stage/student researchers for direct interaction with faculty, industry personnel, and other peers.
We particularly encourage the following types of submissions within the conference topics of interest:
* Demos from experts from industry and academia showing the state-of-the-art
* Demos from student authors related to their research topics
* Demos/Posters of research related to accepted NextGCom papers
* Posters showing results of a work-in-progress paper
* Posters showing results of ongoing or recently concluded research projects
* Posters showing results of a PhD students paper
The abstract of accepted Demos and Posters will appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEEXplore.
