Call for Demos

The ACM MobiCom 2026 Demo session solicits the submission of research, platform, and product demonstrations, and exhibits from both academia and industry.
Demonstrations should showcase innovative research or product prototypes, platforms, and applications in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. We strongly encourage demos based on novel applications in the domain of mobile computing and wireless systems. We also welcome live demos reproducing evaluation results of papers appearing in ACM MobiCom 2026 or past editions as well as other relevant venues. Please refer to the main conference introduction and CFP for the general areas that are relevant to the typical MobiCom audience.

Submission Instructions


Please send your proposal of demo or exhibit as a demo paper through HotCRP at the following link: TBD

Please check back for an active submission link in the following days.

The demo paper should be a summary or extended abstract describing the research to be presented, including details about what will actually be shown to the audience. Paper text blocks must follow ACM guidelines: 2 pages double-column US letter size of 8.5 x 11 inches with fonts no smaller than 10 point size, in PDF file format and one extra page for references. To comply to these requirements, you might find useful the official ACM templates for LaTeX and Word. LaTeX users should use the following document class:

\documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart}

Demo submissions accept single-blind submissions. Once your demo submission is accepted, we will include the abstract of your demo paper on the conference website and publish it in the main proceedings and the ACM digital library. All demo submissions will be considered for the "MobiCom'26 Best Demo Award".

Demo Presentation

For accepted demo submissions, authors will prepare for demonstrating their work during the dedicated demo session. Please note that the session will only run on-premise, and we expect authors to address questions from conference attendees in a live demo session onsite (no hybrid mode).
