[AISWorld] Invitation to SIGPHIL at ICIS Advancing IS Theories Workshop Dec 13-14

[Nik Rushdi Hassan]

Dear colleagues,
If you are attending ICIS and looking for some intellectual stimulation and
great company the evenings of 13-14 December, please consider attending the
always popular SIGPHIL at ICIS workshop with this year's theme: *"Advancing IS
Theories"*. You can also join even if you're not attending ICIS. This
year's lineup of speakers include (in alphabetical order) AIS LEOs Kalle
Lyytinen and Lynne Markus, AIS Fellows Shirley Gregor, Varun Grover, Alan
Hevner and Frantz Rowe and other great authors like Dubravka
Cecez-Kecmanovic, Paul Lowry, Lars Mathiassen, Fred Niederman, Cathy
Urquhart, Olga Volkoff and Donald Wynn, all converging on the topic that's
on the minds of everyone in IS -- How to theorize in IS and IS theories.
And you won't even miss your favorite Pre-ICIS SIG meeting because this
program is held during two evenings concurrently with ICIS.
