Panels afford the opportunity to controversially discuss ground-breaking topics and ideas in the IS community. The panel should engage the audience and the included experts in a discussion that will stimulate interaction and enhance the learning experience. The goal is to move the topic forward to a greater understanding and application within the given ninety minutes. Panel topics are varied, but generally pertain to controversial research questions, new research challenges, or changes to the status quo of the discipline. Panels related to the conference theme
“Towards Thought Leadership in Digital Transformations” are especially welcome. We encourage proposals that challenge the traditional panel format and include innovative and inspirational elements to stimulate interaction and enhance the learning experience.
