The Southern Association for Information Systems (SAIS) is an official
chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). The annual SAIS
conference is an intimate gathering of information systems academics with
fewer than one hundred participants. Past SAIS conferences have attracted
doctoral students and faculty, including many recognized scholars, from
around the US and around the globe. SAIS 2014 will be held in *Macon,
Georgia*, the *"Cherry Blossom Capital of the World"*. The 2014 Conference
has been scheduled to coincide with the *International Cherry Blossom
Festival* <http://www.cherryblossom.com/>. Bring your family to experience
gracious southern hospitality and celebrate in grand style with the
magnificent beauty of our 300,000 flowering Yoshino cherry trees.

SAIS 2014 provides an opportunity for close interaction among presenters
and attendees. Both completed research and research-in-progress papers from
all areas related to information systems are invited for submission. All
papers will be included in the conference proceedings, and authors have the
option of including their papers in the AIS e-Library. In addition,
selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in the new Journal of
the Southern Association for Information Systems (JSAIS) (
http://www.jsais.org/), with George Schell as Editor.
