Planning an Ancillary Meeting

As part of the 2017 International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS 2017), the Association for Information Systems (AIS) is seeking participation by all Information Systems organizations to conduct an ancillary event at ICIS in Seoul, Korea, December 10-13, 2017.

For all SIG/Ancillary/Pre/Post ICIS meeting event requests for ICIS 2017, you will need to complete the formal OAM application. By organizing events through the OAM site for ICIS 2017, we expect to be able to better coordinate across events, promote the various inter-related theme workshops and ancillary events, and allocate space in order to make event planning more amenable for conference and workshop attendants. Your early indication of interest in organizing an ancillary event will help in our efforts to coordinate the ancillary events.

If you are planning an event, please complete the OAM application. Also, we would like to thank all who submitted a pre-survey that helped prepare in the initial planning. Each event organizer must also complete the OAM request as this is the official request for rooms and added services.

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

  • Ancillary events (e.g., SIG Workshops, Chapter meetings, birds of a feather sessions, receptions, etc.) arranged through the OAM receive the best available space, 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.
  • Ancillary event organizers can opt to take advantage of the meeting planning services to negotiate on your behalf to plan your event exactly how you want.
  • Event promotion benefits: We will provide each event with a dedicated page on the official ICIS web site to promote the event to all potential participants.

Regardless of the services desired, the FIRST STEP to being recognized as an OAM for ICIS 2017 is to submit the OAM application. Upon its review and acceptance, confirmation will be sent to the designated ancillary meeting organizer, and the planning process will commence.

If you have any questions, please contact JC Sandel, AIS Conference Coordinator, by email at jc@aisnet.org or by calling +1(404).477.5823
