<b><span style="font-family:Arial; color:#4C4C4C">CALL FOR WORKSHOPS, TUTORIAL AND PANEL PROPOSALS (PACIS 2014)</span></b></p>

<span style="font-family:Arial; color:#4C4C4C">We are seeking proposals for workshops, tutorials and panels to be presented at the 2014 PACIS conference. Workshops and tutorials offer researchers and practitioners great opportunities for in-depth learning on
specific topics and interests related to the field of information systems. Panels provide a forum for debate and discussion of current issues in research and practice. We invite proposals on all aspects of the conference theme, “</span><a href="http://pacis2014.org/theme.php" target="_blank"><i><span style="font-family:Arial; color:windowtext">Ubiquitous
IT and Collaborative Innovation</span></i></a><b><span style="font-family:Arial">.</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial; color:#4C4C4C">” In addition, we solicit proposals that cover any new or promising research topics, or innovative and novel methodologies
or tools for IS research. Workshops and tutorials will be held Wednesday (June 25<sup>th</sup>) of the conference week and are scheduled for either a half-day or a full-day. The scheduling of panels will be determined based on submissions.</span></p>
