Panels

Panels are a key community vehicle at global conferences. They afford the opportunity to discuss timely topics that are highly relevant to IS research and practice, important to the research community or society at large, and/or provocative or controversial in nature. A good panel achieves two aims: it solicits the views of those with expertise and experience on the subject matter. At the same time, it also engages the audience in a discussion that stimulates interaction and significantly advances attendees’ understanding of a contested topic. Panel topics are varied, but generally pertain to contemporary issues of broad appeal to the IS community, which demand focused research attention to address new research challenges, or change the status quo of the discipline. Panels should be related to the conference theme, and where appropriate, may involve senior practitioners or other key stakeholders outside of the research community but relevant to the topic at hand. We encourage proposals that are innovative and inspirational, leaving the audience with more questions and issues to debate and consider after the panel is over.
