 We would like to encourage you to attend the 31st International Conference of
Information Systems (ICIS 2010) in St. Louis.  The theme of ICIS 2010,
“Information Technology: Gateway to the Future,” highlights the
critical role of information technology in contemporary and future
organizations and society.   To register, go to:  <a

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The St. Louis
information systems community is recognized for the effective partnership
between the academic and practitioner communities in IS.  This partnership is
evident in the program.  The opening Keynote Event will feature a dialogue
between Rodger Riney and Ian Patterson, the CEO and CIO, respectively, of
Scottrade, about important issues of business and IT leadership and alignment.
The CIO Program offers a unique opportunity for industry leaders and academic
professionals to interact, discuss issues of mutual interest, and share
practical implications of research.  The CIO program, which was organized by
Tom Browdy and Mary Sumner, in coordination with Fred Niederman, includes three
CIO panels, with 19 CIO’s. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

We thank V. Sambamurthy and Bernard Tan, the Doctoral Consortium Co-chairs, who
