Dear colleagues,

 

I would like to inform you that the 55th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences will be organized in January 4-7, 2022 at the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii, at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. The conference is a good place for presenting IB papers that intersect with information systems research. This time there will, for instance, be organized a special mini-track on Born digitals, which could interest many of you. Please find below some more information.

 

Please feel free to ask more information from me or the other organizers.

 

See you at Hawaii!
