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
