Call for BPM 2016 Tutorials and Panels

The BPM 2016 conference, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 18 – 22 September 2016, is seeking original proposals for tutorials and panels, which will complement the conference program. The tutorials will provide conference delegates with the opportunity to obtain an in–depth introduction to specific methods, techniques or tools in the BPM field. We particularly encourage tutorial submissions on emerging aspects of BPM or topics that expand the horizon of the conference. Panels, in turn, are open conversations where thought leaders discuss controversial topics or trends in BPM. Tutorials and panels are intended to be highly interactive, encouraging the audience to pose questions and comment on the contents. Tutorials may last either 1.5 or 3 hours, whereas a panel is planned for up to 1.5 hours. The full Call for Tutorials and Panels has been published on the BPM’16 website.
