Postponement Announcement for the 3rd Northeast AIS 2020 CONFERENCE
For last two years, the New England Americas’ Information Systems (NEAIS) has gathered academics in the field of Information Systems together to present a broad variety of research and teaching topics. This year, due to the inability to accurately assess the potential reach of the coronavirus, the desire to protect the health and safety of our members, and the potential consequences of bringing together a large group of people in confined space, we have decided to postpone our NEAIS Annual Conference from this year to May, 2021 (specific date & location will be announced in early January, 2021). Please refer to the NEAIS website for updates and important information: https://communities.aisnet.org/newenglandusachapter/conference.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this decision might cause. However, based on today's COVID-19 situation, we feel it is best to postpone now instead of waiting. We are excited to continue with NEAIS 2021 and harness the spirit of our 2020 conference theme
All accepted papers will be reviewed and acknowledged by the NEAIS Program Committee. We appreciate the continued support of our members and hope you can join us next year to collaborate, share research, discuss best practices and more.
Sincerely,
NEAIS Board
