Eighteenth Annual Conference of the Southern Association for Information Systems (SAIS 2015)

March 20-21, 2015 | Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

The Southern Association for Information Systems (SAIS) is an official chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). The annual SAIS conference is an intimate gathering of information systems academics with fewer than one hundred participants. Past SAIS conferences have attracted doctoral students and faculty, including many recognized scholars, from around the US and around the globe. SAIS 2015 will be held in beautiful Hilton Head Island, SC.  Bring your family to experience Hilton Head’s miles of pristine sandy beaches, extensive selection of restaurants, and 20+ championship golf courses.

SAIS 2015 provides an opportunity for close interaction among presenters and attendees. Both completed research and research-in-progress papers from all areas related to information systems are invited for submission. All papers will be included in the conference proceedings, and authors have the option of including their papers in the AIS e-Library. In addition, selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in the new Journal of the Southern Association for Information Systems (JSAIS) (http://www.jsais.org/), with George Schell as Editor and Craig Van Slyke as Founding Editor.
