7. In addition to the Editor's Panel, the Junior Faculty Consortium consists of panels, discussions, and interactive sessions built around issues related to becoming a successful member of the professoriate.

8. A select group of highly-successful IS faculty from universities around the world will lead each event. This will allow each participant to interact with a wide variety of both new and senior faculty and to share their experiences, thoughts, and concerns about developing a career in the academy.

Covered topics include:  gaining tenure, publishing in top-tier journals, research strategies, building a network of colleagues, teaching strategies and issues, tenure pitfalls and experiences, time management, collegiality and academic norms, and work-life balance.

9. The consortium is intended to provide answers and provoke thinking about your own personal issues and challenges to become successful in academia.
