[AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 Call for Panel Proposals

[Fuller, Robert Mark]

AMCIS 2013 Call for Panel Proposals
Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013

As in prior years, AMCIS 2013 provides the opportunity for a group of researchers to explore a topic or focus of interest in a panel format, typically involving a panel moderator (who poses several questions related to the topic) and three to four expert contributors with alternative views or perspectives on the topic. Depending upon the topic, the experts can be drawn from the academy and/or from industry.
Of particular interest are panel submissions that are related to the conference theme, although panel proposals on other relevant topics are also welcome.
To submit a panel proposal for AMCIS 2013 please follow the directions below:

*         Use the AMCIS 2013 Panel Template to create your panel proposal

*         Submit your panel proposal via Bepress

*         Make sure you select "Panel" for both paper type and Track:Minitrack in the Bepress system

The Bepress submission link is available at http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013.  Submissions will close on February 22, 2013 at 11:59 CST.

Your panel proposal should indicate the topic title and provide an abstract as well as include the following sections:
1.      Statement of the panel objectives (e.g., to disseminate new points of view, to foster a debate, to introduce a new area of exploration). This section should include one or two representative questions that each of the panelists would answer.
2.      Statement of the overall approach. This should specify the panel layout (how the moderator and panelists will address the topic (e.g., questions from the moderator, position statements followed by interactions among the panelists), and the time allocation given to the panel discussants and Q&A from the floor.
3.      A list of proposed panelists including a short bio of each that emphasizes why the panelist is well qualified to serve as a moderator or panelist. These panelists will need to be confirmed prior to the final selection of the panels.
4.      Statement of any equipment needs (projector, computer, Internet access). The complete panel proposal should be no more than three pages.

Submissions are encouraged as soon as possible, and will be accepted until February 22, 2013. Improvement suggestions and feedback will be provided after submission. Notifications of acceptance/rejection will be sent out on or around April 6.  Any questions you may have regarding your submission should be addressed to:
