Venue of the Conference
The conference has been organized virtually in university of Babylon,Babylon,Iraq,[22][23] October 2020. ICMAICT-2020 is the extended version of our past conference MAICT-19 which held in 2019 at IKC college, Baghdad, and can be visited through the link of (www.info-comm.tech). University of Babylon aims through its scientific departments at preparing a generation of students armed with knowledge and looking forward to building their country according to the new scientific developments. The university endeavors towards making use of them in an appropriate cultural means as well as building good and new scientific establishments for the sake of developing the present through scientific research. The main organizer of MAICT conference is SICC center and this year organized with the cooperation of Dijla Jewel Co. Pvt. Ltd., and TCIA Foundation.

The reason(s) why ICMAICT conducted virtually:
Due Covid-19 Pandemic Situation recently affected on many countries and still the situation of this Pandemic is very dangerous, and due to incredible Number of cases of the peoples that infected by Covid-19 in the world and in Iraq, and due to the World Health Organization and Ministry of Health Recommendations, the conference organizers decided to conduct and held this conference Virtually to keep the life of participants and also due the challenges of lock down. Conduct ICMAICT virtually bring huge number of participants that non expected due many peoples are unable to attend conference physically, attend our online Conference due the friendly uses of Virtual Software without spending money for flight tickets or other matters to attend the conference. However, we feel this conference achieved our goal by inviting very attractive authors who are seeking for attending conferences the focused in modern application inf IT and recent technologies, and even Covid-19 there but the scientist always seeking for the reputed events like ICMAICT. The organizing committee have achieved these tasks and all sessions organizing in University of Babylon they attend physically to use the University of Babylon infrastructure to achieve this task Successfully.

Technology, technical difficulties and drawbacks of conference virtually.
ICMAICT Conference Consider the ZOOM Meeting Software as the main software to conduct this conference, as the Main Software for delivering the Session discussions and Meeting information to all participants in Iraq and Other countries. The main advantages of this Technology is to reduce the time and space when someone would like to attend any scientific event and also broken the limitations for the peoples and authors who would like to attend this event from far away countries, in which the provide a facility to provide a platform that able to manage and control large number of participants is the main challenge of choosing the best software, we find Zoom meeting is the best software that fulfill our requirements and provide amazing virtual platform to manage our authors and participants through our conference sessions.
The main technical difficulty in virtual software is the internet connection, due to covid-19 band, many peoples sitting at home and many jobs transformed from physical to virtual mode, However, internet connection and ISP infrastructure may affected due the large number of traffic devices that join to the network recently and may the ISP companies do not have good infrastructure to provide stable connection through the meeting or sessions. Hence, we conducted our sessions in the early morning time where the Babylon university and SICC, TCIA and Dijla Jewel Pvt. Ltd. Infrastructure used to achieve this task successfully. With Blessing of God, we held this conference successfully without any issue and we are looking to conduct this conference in future in physical manner after the world remedy from this pandemic.

The main technical difficulties of Virtual Meetings can be summarizing as follow:
Virtual Technique that use to achieve this task, many software can be used to achieve this task, which can be offer through many companies either free or paid own services. The main challenge to use online technique is to find the good software that able to manage large number of attendees with varied number of traffic data, we feel that the internet connections is the main source for any challenge in any online event. However, if the internet connection became slow, where many users are forced to exit and rejoin many times through the session. So many software's can used to achieve high quality meeting, need some certain limitations, like number of users, to keep the bandwidth little good, however not all interested peoples can attend meeting, difficulty of join and attend the meeting rooms, view and share the content, etc. Drawbacks of virtual conference, we do not feel the virtual conference have much drawbacks than physical conferences, in which many peoples can avoid many fees payment for travels and hosting, registration fees, as well as flight tickets in which virtual conferences gives free offer for all the above issues. Another thing is, some famous figures and professors can easily join and attend without consider their fees in which they can attend and speak for hours when they sitting at home. The main drawback we feel that if some authors would like to visit the conference venue for direct discussion and made good collaboration, so virtual meeting can also achieve this task easily, at the current time where all world suffer from Covid-19 pandemic.
