Call for Industry Talk Proposals

The Fifth International Management Information Systems Conference (IMISC 2018) is an international forum for the presentation of new research results, systems and techniques in the broad field of management information systems.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fifth International Management Information Systems Conference (IMISC 2018), the venue for research and applications of management information systems. IMISC 2018 will be held in Ankara, Turkey, from October 16th to October 19th, 2018. The conference will continue IMISC’ practice of connecting the research and practitioner communities to exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share solutions.

Industry practitioners are invited to submit talk proposals to the IMISC conference industry track. This track seeks presentations about challenges and practical solutions to significant realworld issues faced by industry practitioners. We encourage submissions that describe substantial challenges that were overlooked by the research community and your promising new approaches that could foster discussion and collaboration. We also recognize that diverse speaker backgrounds and topics facilitate richer discussions at the conference, therefore we especially encourage women and under-represented colleagues to submit talk proposals.

Examples of talk topics include, but are not limited to:

• Challenges faced by practitioners that are under-studied in the research community and practical solutions
• Novel techniques that solve significant issues in practice
• Case studies of real-world implementations
• Evaluation metrics and studies
• Field and user studies
• Lessons learned from real world deployments
• Novel information system applications

Note that although industry talks are solicited separately, we expect to create a combined single track program from both accepted papers and industry talks in IMISC 2018. Furthermore, selected proposals should be accompanied by a poster for the conference.
