[AISWorld] AMCIS 2018: Call for Minitrack Proposals, due Oct 18

[ProgramCoChairs AMCIS2018]

 We invite the submission of minitrack proposals to AMCIS 2018, which will
be held on August 16-18, 2018 in New Orleans, LA. The conference provides
many opportunities for participation, collaboration, and dialogue related
to the conference theme, Digital Disruption.

Digital disruption is the powerful transformation that drives how
businesses create value with new digital technologies. Digital disruption
transforms all industries, and manifests itself through a variety of
digital tools, services, and artifacts. It fuels more rapid and on-going
innovation in businesses. We look forward to gathering with you in New
Orleans to exchange knowledge on digital disruption and to strengthen and
deepen our collaboration in information systems.
