[AISWorld] ICIS 2011 registration now open

[Galletta, Dennis]

With this brief message, TP and I are proud to announce the opening of ICIS 2011 registration! Early registration will continue until October 3.

Program co-chairs Cynthia Beath, Michael Myers, and KK Wei have worked extremely hard with all of the program committee, reviewers, and authors on yet another record number of submissions to produce an excellent program. We are finalizing sponsorships and will be making further announcements in the future and at ICIS.

We are also hopeful that "ICIS in the Classroom" will help ease your attendance. Vivek Choudhury and Jeanne Ross have worked hard to produce an interesting set of four 90-minute sessions by leading academics to be recorded on site, intended for use in an MBA Core Course. We are proud to furnish to all ICIS attendees Jeanne Ross's talk on Enterprise Architecture, Rajiv Sabherwal's talk on Knowledge Management, Peter Weill's talk on Governance, or Jim Wetherbe's talk on Communication Skills in the form of streamed video. We aim to make the videos available for use on or after December 5. We have also recently received word that MIT will provide some funding for the sessions, enabling a very low fee of $5 for each session for ICIS attendees who wish to be there live on December 4.

You can initiate the registration process at http://icis2011.aisnet.org/Conference_Registration.html.

Oil prices are down again, so the flight is quite reasonable compared to the prices six months ago. The USA and far western Europe will probably have the highest prices for flights, so I just priced Delta flights as follows departing on December 2 for Shanghai and returning on December 7:

USA: from Boston $987.10, from Pittsburgh $1,039.10, from Orlando $1095.10, and from LAX $983.30.
UK: from London: £646.73

Register before October 3, and make your flight reservations now and save! We look forward to your attendance at ICIS 2011!
