MWAIS 2019 seeks to expand the information frontiers of IS and we invite submissions reflecting a plurality of perspectives on the discipline.  The conference theme will be "Inclusiveness in the IT Talent Management Pipeline". We especially welcome submissions relevant to this theme.

While academics from around the world are invited to attend, we especially hope many academics from the Midwest states will submit papers.  The Midwest United States Association for Information Systems (MWAIS) is a chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) serving Midwest US members of AIS.  The states served by this Chapter include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

The conference will include several presentation sessions workshops, invited keynote speakers, panel sessions, doctoral and undergraduate student sessions.  There will be speakers from academia and industry from across the Midwest region and beyond.

Student support: MWAIS will waive the registration fee for students whose papers are accepted and who will be presenting at the conference (one student per paper).

Proceedings: Conference proceedings will be available through the Association for Information Systems Electronic Library (AISeL). At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference no later than April 22, 2019, for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.

Best paper awards: The top three conference papers will be awarded best paper awards sponsored by the Midwest Association for Information Systems. Authors of these papers who choose to submit their papers to the JMWAIS will be awarded a monetary prize ($300, $200, and $100 respectively) and these papers will undergo an expedited review process by the journal.

Papers, tutorials, and panels on any theme appropriate to MWAIS are invited, but special welcome is extended this year to submissions that are related to the Inclusiveness in the IT Talent Management Pipeline.

Submissions may be in the form of one or more of the following: completed research papers, research-in-progress papers, industry case studies, or proposals for panel discussions or tutorials.

In the case of multiple-authorship, designate the corresponding author with a footnote on the cover page. Please do not include any author or affiliation identification on any page (except the separate cover page), in headings/footers, or in the properties of the submitted file.
