Ancillary Meetings Planning

As part of the 2022 International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), the Association for Information Systems (AIS) is seeking participation by all Information Systems organizations to conduct an ancillary meeting at ICIS.

Should you require assistance or have questions during this process, contact Robina Wahid at robina@aisnet.org.

Reminder: All workshops should be submitted as workshops.

Workshops are typically half- or full-day sessions that facilitate discussion and exploration of ideas, techniques, and methodologies that advance research, teaching knowledge of IS-related concepts, or products from industry and their application to academia, educational curricula, or industry practice.

Key Benefits to using the OAM Site to plan your ancillary event:

  • SIG and Ancillary events arranged through the OAM receive the best available audio/visual and food & beverage rates.
  • Your event attendees will have the convenience to book during the ICIS registration process, or to add your event to their itineraries after registration.
  • Hotel management – Ancillary event organizers can opt to take advantage of AIS’ meeting planning services to negotiate on your behalf to plan your event exactly how you want.

IMPORTANT: Ancillary meetings will be hosted in two locations. Please review details closely.

Saturday, December 10

Take advantage of the location and experience a local university. IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) has kindly offered their facility for SIG/Ancillary Meetings on Saturday.

A short walk from Bella Center to the metro station “Bella Center”. Take the M1 train in direction to Vanløse. Trains are departing every 6 minutes. You will get off after two stops (4 min) at DR Byen. Walk Emil-Holms-Kanal northwards (4 min). Please click here for Google maps.

If you are considering hosting an evening reception on Saturday, please contact Robina Wahid at  robina@aisnet.org.
