About the Doctoral Student Corner
The AIS Doctoral Student College is hosting a series of events as a part of this year’s AMCIS Doctoral Student Corner, designed especially for doctoral students attending AMCIS 2023. All our events will be at The Westin Playa Bonita Panama in Panama.
Our community is dedicated to building opportunities and providing support to all doctoral students, and we extend this endeavor at AMCIS 2023 with a host of events designed to facilitate networking with faculty and peers, highlight your research, and enhance your experience at the conference.
