Subject: AMCIS 2018: Call for Minitrack Proposals, due Oct 18

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.
