[AISWorld] SAIS 2011: Final Call for Papers, March 25-26, Atlanta, GA

[Andrew Ciganek]

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 2011 will be held in Atlanta at the
Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.

SAIS 2011 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 in the AIS e-Library, a
central repository for research papers and journal articles relevant to the
information systems academic community.
The Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center is located in Atlanta’s most
dynamic cultural and entertainment neighborhood on the beautiful campus of
Georgia Tech and is steps from a multitude of restaurants, shops, museums,
parks, nightclubs and attractions. The Barnes & Noble campus bookstore and
Starbucks is just across the street. The hotel is a mile from downtown
Atlanta and exciting diversions such as the Fabulous Fox Theater, High
Museum of Art, Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta Civic Center, World of Coca-Cola,
and Underground Atlanta. Getting to the Georgia Tech Hotel is easy as it is
just 15 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Georgia
Tech's complimentary shuttle, the Tech Trolley, provides guests
transportation arriving and departing from the Midtown MARTA transit station
and the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
