The 10th Annual Midwest Association for Information Systems Conference May 14-15, 2015

The 10th Annual Midwest Association for Information Systems Conference (MWAIS 2015), hosted by Pittsburg State University, will accept current topics
on pedagogy, research and service in IT/IS. The conference will provide an intimate environment to facilitate the sharing of ideas and findings.
The Accounting and Computer Information Systems Department at the Kelce College of Business is interdisciplinary in nature and we want the theme of
this year’s conference to reflect the strengths of our department. Building on that this year’s conference theme is “Interdisciplinary Research in the
Information Systems Field”

MWAIS 2015 will have several presentation sessions, workshops, invited keynote speakers, panel sessions, doctoral and undergraduate student
sessions. There will be speakers from academia and industry represented from across the Midwest region.
Manuscripts, research in progress, panel and workshop proposals are invited from all regions, and from both academia and practice. Submitted papers
and proposals will undergo a double blind review.
