AMCIS brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2017 theme, A Tradition of Innovation.  A Tradition of Innovation, reflects the conference committee's desire to strengthen and build consensus in existing research streams, while also taking on innovative theoretical or methodological challenges and exploring emerging technology opportunities.  Together, we will create an exciting program that draws upon the best of SIG-driven AMCIS traditions and provides many opportunities for participation, collaboration, and dialogue. We look forward to gathering with you in Boston to strengthen our roots and expand our opportunities in information systems, the digital economy and beyond.
 
COMPLETED RESEARCH PAPERS
 
Completed Research papers must describe completed research and be submitted to a track/minitrack where they will be peer-reviewed using a double blind system. If accepted, Completed Research papers will be presented in a session, which consists of three or four papers. Completed (full) Research papers must not exceed 10 pages (approx. 5,000 words, including figures, tables, references, and appendices) and must conform to the AMCIS 2017 submission template. Full papers that are accepted will be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings.
 
EMERGENT RESEARCH FORUM (ERF) PAPERS
 
Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers are a research in progress option that was introduced at AMCIS 2015. Like completed research, ERF papers will be submitted to a track/minitrack for double blind review. Accepted ERF papers will be presented by the authors in a slam presentation session (limited to 3 minutes) during the program as well as a poster. Both the slam presentation and the poster are required. ERF paper submissions must not exceed 5 pages (approx. 2,500 words, including figures, tables, references, and appendices) and must conform to the AMCIS 2017 submission template.
