**
*Call for Tutorials, Workshops and Panels** *

*24th Australasian Conference on Information Systems*

*December 4-6, 2013, Melbourne, Australia** *

* ** *

*Submission Details*

The language of the conference is English. All submissions must therefore
be in English.

ACIS 2013 invites proposals for *workshops, panels and tutorial sessions *that
bring together experts from industry and/or academia with complementary or
conflicting perspectives to: generate further opportunities to work on
publishable output; discuss a current research topic; demonstrate new ideas
and/or approaches; or otherwise highlight issues of importance to the
information systems (IS) field.
Tutorial Proposals

Tutorials can cover any aspect of IS research, education or practice that
is relevant to the IS community. Typically, these are hands-on sessions
that may demonstrate or explain a new development in the field.

*Tutorials *will be organised as 1 or ½ day sessions and be scheduled
following the normal conference program i.e. Friday 6th December 2013.
Depending on the resource requirements, i.e. rooms etc. some tutorials may
incur an additional fee. Each tutorial proposal must include:

   - Name, affiliation and contact details for the presenter
   - Qualifications of the speaker (for running the tutorial)
   - Tutorial title, a 750-word abstract, and a brief outline
   - Duration of the tutorial (e.g. ½ day or full-day)
   - Planned activities during the tutorial
   - Special requirements (e.g. Internet access, software etc)
   - Target audience and maximum number of tutorial participants (if
   limited)

Workshop Proposals

*Workshops* should be designed to highlight an area of high priority to the
IS community as well as having a balance of academic and industry focus (we
suggest an academic chair and an industry chair for the workshop). It is
also suggested that workshop organisers contact potential attendees in
their research and/or practitioner communities to evaluate the level of
interest and potential attendance at the workshop.

Workshops will be organised during a “block” session of time during the
regular conference program i.e. a 1½ hour session (with up to seven
available workshop timeslots). A workshop proposal should include up to 10
key participants and also must include:

   - Name, affiliation and contact details for the workshop chairs
   - Qualifications of the chairs (for running the workshop)
   - Names and affiliation of up to 10 key participants who will assist in
   driving the workshop agenda and outputs. (Note: Key participants must
   commit to the workshop *prior* to the submission. Please also note that
   workshops can, of course, have more than 10 key attendees)
   - Title of the Workshop, a 750-word abstract, and a brief outline
   - Planned activities during the workshop
   - Planned activities after the workshop i.e. possible publication and
   research grant strategies
   - Planned target outlets for the workshop output
   - Target audience

Panel Proposals

*Panels* should be designed to articulate and debate an issue of
significant importance to the IS community. They may take the form of
multiple viewpoint presentations with audience participation, right through
to a debate-style controversy.

Panels will be organised during a “block” session of time during the
regular conference program i.e. a 1½ hour session (with up to seven
available panel timeslots). A panel should include 3-5 panellists and also
must include:

   - Name, affiliation and contact details for the panel chair
   - Names and affiliation of the panellists. (Note: Panellists must commit
   to participating in the panel *prior* to the submission.)
   - Qualifications of the panellists (for running the panel)
   - Title of the Panel, a 750-word abstract and a brief outline
   - Panel structure and activities
   - Target audience
