Subject: Gauging Interest in JIT "Digital Futures" workshop at ICIS (hybrid)?


Dear “Futuring”  Abstract Authors,



ICIS is fast approaching, and I have received several inquiries about the proposed JIT workshop for the Special Issue “Futuring: ‘Digital’ Futures as a Novel Site of Inquiry and Imagination”.



ICIS this year has presented a variety of access issues for authors and the Senior Editors. In discussing the options with the JIT -EiC, we have decided to host a short workshop to help you prepare for the submission deadline (Feb 15 2026 plenty of time!)

We what we to provide is  clarity of the types of contributions we hope to receive and expand on the brief feedback we sent out on each of your extended abstracts. We are hoping to provide insights on the challenges of writing and assessing this type of work but only one of the SEs is attending ICIS so we are unsure what exactly we will be covering.



Due to the situation with travel, we will try to do this in a hybrid mode (details to be worked out) --- that will pose time challenges for some people who are in other parts of the world.

To help with this planning, could you please let me know if you are :

  1.  Attending ICIS in person
  2.  Would join a hybrid workshop (if the timing allows)?



We are planning this in a PRE-conference timeframe (Dec 13 or 14), and I am negotiating with ICIS to find a time/space. I realize that without a firm time/ date it is not possible for you to commit, but I am trying to gauge interest before I involve too many more people. Please let me know ASAP and I will get back to you with further details.



Also – please help by informing your author teams – I could not recover all emails from a computer issue that has been – difficult. Apologies to those left off.



Regards,



Dirk
