The demo proposals for the Abu Dhabi 6G Summit will be evaluated by a selection committee, adhering to the following criteria to ensure relevance and excellence:
  • Adherence to the Abu Dhabi 6G Summit's thematic scope

  • Significance and merit of the research contribution

  • Potential impact on the research and engineering fields and beyond

  • Quality and detail of the proposed implementation

  • Presentation quality

The standout demonstration will be recognized with the "Abu Dhabi 6G Summit 2024 Best Demo Award," based on the criteria mentioned above, at the conclusion of the conference.
Proposals can be enhanced with additional supporting materials such as PowerPoint slides that elucidate the demonstration and a list of technical requirements (e.g., power outlet, space requirements). These documents should be sent directly to the Demo Co-Chairs at abudhabi-6gsummit-demos@tii.ae.
Each proposal that is accepted must have at least one author registered for the Abu Dhabi 6G Summit main conference. Furthermore, this author is expected to present the demo during the designated demo sessions.
