We hope to have an inclusive consortium that represents the interests, priorities and distinctiveness of AIS Region 2 working in a global community. The consortium will support attendees to help build helpful professional and career relationships, learn about publishing in different kinds of journals, understand the kinds of impact that they can make within and outside the Academy, plan a career trajectory, achieve excellence while maintaining character, and overall, take an informed and alert approach to building an academic career in information systems. For those applying from African universities, please contact the chairs in case of financial difficulties.
