INTRODUCTION:
- What is AIS? - Each year, our organization attends a competition sponsored by the Association for Information Systems (AIS), the premier US-based conference for the MIS discipline. The competition involves teams of students from universities from the United States and other countries and the site rotates each year (e.g., Philadelphia, Dallas, and Provo). At the conference, there are various IS/IT-related competitions, e.g., data analytics, cybersecurity, etc., that allow us to represent the University of Georgia on a national level.
- Thank you very much to The University of Georgia, The Terry College of Business, and the MIS department for allowing us to attend this annual conference and represent UGA!
