Call for Papers
We welcome submissions and participation from academics, practitioners, and policy makers. To support discussion and development of ideas and networks, we encourage submissions that consider social science, technical, and policy issues.
Submissions can be extended abstracts (2 pages) or full papers (6 pages). These should be prepared using the IET template and have the following format: Purpose, Theoretical Background (where appropriate), Findings, Discussion, Managerial Implications (if applicable) and Limitations.
This year’s themes are AI in Health, AI in Finance, Digital Public Infrastructure, Smart Mobility, and Sustainability. We are interested in submissions that represent interdisciplinary research spanning various fields. Submissions are encouraged from disciplines such as marketing, human resources, operations and supply chain management, strategy, behavioural sciences, economics, information systems, computer science, and cyber security. We would particularly like to encourage submissions from scholars in the wider community, including anthropologists, sociologists, data scientists and those from design disciplines interested in the digital economy. We do not require empirical work, and welcome abstracts exploring conceptual ideas, and we are actively seeking work in the developmental stages of research.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IET and will be available through the IET Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. The proceedings will be indexed through the major databases Scopus (Elsevier); Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics); ProQuest; NLM (US National Library of Medicine); and CrossRef.

Conference Format
The conference will have a blended format, with participants being able to present and attend in-person or virtually. The programme with be designed around a number of general sessions and track-specific sessions. Each session will last up to two hours, with three papers per session and a closing Q&A with the authors.
Presentations are synchronous. Authors are expected to submit their slides one week in advance of the conference to allow for their upload prior to the conference. Presentations are to be 20 minutes long, with all participants from each session joining in a 30 to 40 minutes Q&A at the end of the session. We intend to identify themes among the submissions and group them into specific sessions to foster discussion from across the presentations during the Q&A.
