Big XII+ MIS Research Symposium

The Big XII+ MIS Research Symposium was established in 2003 to create an informal setting for MIS faculty and Ph.D. students to exchange research ideas. In addition to the schools in the Big XII, the University of Arkansas, University of Texas at Dallas, and University of Nebraska at Omaha were later invited to participate in the symposium. Other schools are invited at the discretion of the host school. Thus, the conference is now referred to as the Big XII+. Prof. Ramesh Sharda (OSU), Bob Zmud (OU), and David Olsen (Nebraska) were the co-chairs for the first meeting at OSU.

​Please contact Ramesh Sharda (ramesh dot sharda at okstate dot edu) for more information about the Symposium series.
