The Hawaii International Conference on System Scienes (HICSS) offers a unique, highly interactive and professionally challenging environment that attendees find "very helpful" and an opportunity to share "lots of different perspectives and ideas as a result of discussion." We're proud to be in our 48th consecutive conference year and look forward to the conference on Kauai in 2015.
