We invite you to submit a paper, abstract, or panel proposal for the 2018 IACIS conference that will be held in beautiful Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The IACIS International Conference provides a showcase for the latest research in practice and pedagogical topics that focus on how information systems and technology are used to support organizations or enhance the educational process.
IACIS is a long-standing organization with many benefits. In addition to presenting and networking with other professionals, when you attend the conference, you also get:

·      a 1-year subscription to JCIS (our premier journal)

·      award opportunities for faculty and students

·      lunch on 2 or more days of the conference

·      Fun Night, an organized event of food and entertainment

·      the possibility of publication in Issues in Information Systems

·      an opportunity to serve on the Editorial Review Board

·      a constructive, professional environment for faculty and students

This Year’s Conference Theme
Over the past decade, the accelerated expansion of technology has significantly disrupted the employment landscape across multiple disciplines, including Information Systems, healthcare, business, IT, education, and others. As such, analysts are projecting that technology jobs will grow by more than 20% through 2020 to outpace the rest of the U.S. workforce. One untapped tech sector experiencing seismic growth in recent years is the EdTech industry. Investment in EdTech is projected to parallel IT's growth and hit $252 billion by 2020. Like IS, EdTech, spans across multiple industries to build and expand upon the use of technology to maintain and solve organizational needs.

This year's cross-cutting theme will explore the convergence of IS and EdTech and how inter-disciplinary partnerships can be developed to address programmatic needs and prepare our graduates for the jobs of tomorrow.

Submission Deadline: May 12, 2018

In order to be considered for publication in Issues in Information Systems (IIS), the completed full paper must be submitted by the deadline above in order for it to undergo the double blind, peer review process. Abstracts submitted by the date above will be considered for the conference proceedings.

What to Submit

You are invited to share your research on the conference theme or other relevant IS and IT research with the educators and professionals attending the IACIS International Conference. Papers covering related academic and technical issues are also encouraged.

·       Full pedagogy/research papers
