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

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. All
papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in the AIS
