Call for Panels

The purpose of panels at the Australasian Conference on Information Systems 2024 is to provide the opportunity to present topics and ideas that are state-of-the-art, break new ground and perhaps are controversial for the IS community. Possible topics for the panels should align with the main conference theme which focuses on “Digital Futures for a Sustainable Society” and the integration of sustainability principles into digital practices.

Panels are expected to engage the panellists and audience in a discussion that will stimulate interaction and enhance the learning experience with the goal of moving the community and the topic forward to greater understanding. Panel topics can vary, but generally, they relate to the conference theme and pertain to new and controversial research questions, innovative research challenges, changes to the status quo of the discipline, and technology-led transformations which give rise to problems that are worthwhile to build new research agenda around. We also encourage proposals that challenge the traditional panel format and include innovative and inspirational elements that are likely to prompt the sharing of potentially important new ideas, surprising and spirited reactions, and new conclusions important for IS researchers. Please submit your panel proposals by 23 August 2024 to the ACIS 2024 EasyChair System and ensure to choose the “Workshops and Panels” track.
