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 2017 will be held in beautiful St. Simons, Georgia. Bring your family to experience the beauty and history of St. Simons, the largest barrier island in the Golden Isles of Georgia.
St. Simons’ exceptional historic sites and stunning sceneries make the island and its surroundings a unique getaway for visitors. The island’s villages offer a delightful selection of shops and restaurants. Thanks to the year round warm weather of the Golden Isles, visitors can also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as golfing, biking, fishing, and kayaking. Other popular attractions of St. Simons include St. Simons Lighthouse Museum http://www.goldenisles.com/listing/st-simons-lighthouse-museum, Bloody Marsh Battle Site http://www.goldenisles.com/listing/bloody-marsh-battle-site, and Fort Frederica National Monument http://www.goldenisles.com/listing/fort-frederica-national-monument.
SAIS 2017 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.
