I-DEMO

Innovative Demonstration Session

Overview

The I-DEMO is an opportunity to demonstrate, discuss and experience technical aspects of new technology prototypes, proofs of concept, leading edge devices, and state-of-the-art software techniques in a special exhibit area.

In IDW ’25, the I-DEMO is open to all oral and poster presenters as well as I-DEMO only presenters. Please demonstrate your prototype in the dedicated I-DEMO area.
Note that due to limited space, selection of applications may be competitive. Evaluation criteria for selection includes relevance to the scopes of IDW ’25, scientific and technical significance, and impact on interdisciplinary research.
After evaluations and selection based on the proposal, the IDW program committee will assign a demonstration on a day during IDW ’25, which will avoid your presentation if you have a paper presentation.

The I-DEMO provides a chance to experience and discuss technical aspects but is not intended for advertising your affiliation, products, or anything of that nature. To ensure the innovative nature of the demonstrations, proposals should include original technologies that offer technical advancements beyond those already commercialized. Demonstrations that merely showcase existing products without scientific or technical progress will not be accepted. If you would prefer to make an advertisement, we offer the “IDW ’25 Exhibition”, in which you can advertise your products or companies/organizations for three days.

Applications

• Please submit your I-DEMO proposal in the requested form.
• We make our evaluations based on the proposal.

Note that we cannot deal with any special requests such as a dark room or a soundproof room in IDW ’25. Kindly prepare your demonstration to be performed within the conference site environment.
