SERVSIG 2026 welcomes submissions in the form of papers (abstracts) and ideas for special sessions.
Abstracts
Authors should submit an abstract about their research, not exceeding 500 words.
The abstract should outline the relevance of the phenomenon being studied, potential contributions to the field, the research question(s), theoretical foundations, conceptual framework, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusion. Do not add a reference list.
Include up to 5 Keywords at the end of the abstract.
All submissions will be reviewed via a double-blind process. Please ensure that no author names or identifying information appear in the PDF file.
At least one author is expected to attend the conference and present the paper. An author can be listed as a presenter for no more than two submissions but can be listed as the co-author of multiple submissions.
Special Sessions
We encourage special sessions in innovative and interactive formats. Submissions should specify the topic and format of the special session and designate a special session chair and other participants.
Please note that we will not accept special sessions comprised of 3 or 4 papers in a traditional format. Proposals should detail the proposed format and any room set up requirements. Whilst we encourage special sessions on a range of service topics, sessions which focus on our conference theme of Transforming Individuals, Markets & Society are specially welcome.
