We will share any changes/updates with the community immediately.

NEAIS 2022 seeks to enhance knowledge sharing and community building among IS scholars in the Northeast. We invite submissions reflecting a plurality of perspectives on the discipline, with special emphasis on those relevant to the conference theme Misinformation.

The New England Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (NEAIS) serves AIS members in the Northeastern United States. We welcome submissions from all IS scholars, international and US domestic, including Ph.D. students, and especially encourage submissions from those in the Northeast region.

The conference will include parallel presentation sessions, invited keynote speakers, and panel sessions.  In addition, there will be speakers from academia and industry from across the Northeast region and beyond. Students are also encouraged to submit their papers in conjunction with their faculty advisors and present them at the conference.

Abstract of accepted papers will appear in the electronic conference proceedings. The authors retain the copyright to their work. At least one author must register for and present at the conference. High-quality papers will be nominated for the best paper award and fast-tracked to participating journals.
