9th Annual Cross-Cultural Meeting in Information Systems

Call for Participation
You are invited to participate in the 9th Annual Cross-Cultural Research Meeting. This year the meeting will be on Sunday, December 16 from 1:00 to 5:30 pm, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, only half a block away from the ICIS conference hotel. This meeting has been a good point of contact for all those researchers who are interested in discussing cross-cultural research in Information Systems or who would like to know a little more about what other researchers are doing in the same area.
The meeting will include five presentations by Seymour Goodman, Robert Mason, Celia Romm, Michelle Kaarst-Brown, Moez Limayem, Mohamed Khalifa, Robert Davison and Maris Martinsons. We plan on having ample time for discussion and interaction. The fee to cover costs with room rental, refreshments, and audiovisual rental is 30 USD. To ensure quality of the interaction, limited space will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Payment will be accepted either in check payable to IDS Department, University of Illinois, Chicago (please mail to address below), or -- for non-US researchers -- in cash at the convention location. Advance notice of intention of participating is recommended to ensure space availability.
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Roberto Evaristo, Cross-Cultural Meeting Coordinator (evaristo@uic.edu) Information and Decision Sciences Department, 601 S. Morgan Street MC 294, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607
