AIS is committed to providing maximum value for its members, a commitment that is most prevalent in the Institutional Membership offering. Joint AIS-SIM Institutional Membership - $3,000 The Association for Information Systems and the Society for Information Management, the leading academic and professional societies, respectively, for information systems in the world, are pleased to offer a joint academic institutional membership program. Check out the benefits of Joint AIS/SIM Institutional Membership here! For $250 less than the combined, separate institutional memberships at each association, academic institutions can enjoy the full benefits of both for the low price of just $3,000. These are summarized below (along with the costs, if purchased separately): AIS Institutional Member Benefits 5 individual memberships in AIS $625.00 1 complimentary registration at an annual AIS conference of choice (i.e., AMCIS, ECIS, ICIS or PACIS; for instance, for ECIS 2009) $600.00 Free Online Placement Posting $250.00 Free Private Placement Booth at AMCIS and ICIS (AIS placement ad required) $500.00 5 subscriptions to the MIS Quarterly $450.00 1 Institutional Subscription to the AIS eLibrary, which includes the online journals CAIS and JAIS $135.00   ________   $2,560.00

If all the above membership benefits were purchased separately, they would total $5,047.50, substantially in excess of the $3,000 annual fee. The partnership between AIS and SIM strives to provide maximum value for its members and fellowship between both organizations.

In addition, AIS Institutional Member and AIS-SIM Joint Institutional Member universities can save $500 off the regular cost of conference sponsorship by sponsoring either AMCIS or ICIS (or $1,000 if both conferences are sponsored) which grants these universities superior visibility at the two largest gatherings of IS academics.
