[AISWorld] ICIS Seoul Workshops and Member Events

[Wright, Ryan (rtw2n)]

Workshops and member events add so much richness to the I "C" IS experience. If you haven't registered for the conference yet (or even if you have), we encourage you to look at the 38 different ancillary events that surround the main ICIS conference experience. We have options for every AIS member including Special Interest Group (SIG) paper workshops, country chapter meetings, career-focused workshops, and much more.

We are also excited to have other related ancillary events that are of high relevance and interest to the AIS community that explore a broad array of topics related to the development and use of information technologies.

To see all the different events, please go to https://icis2017.aisnet.org/events/ancillary-meetings/

Find your academic community and find a workshop or event that fits you! We'd encourage you to reach out to the event organizer if you have any questions about fit.

We have included some chapter and AIS membership events that may be of interest.

Ancillary Workshop Chairs
Lakshmi Iyer (VP of AIS SIGs and Colleges), Jae Yun Moon, and Ryan Wright (VP of AIS Membership)
