Hawaii International Conference On System Sciences
The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) is an annual conference for Information Systems and Information Technology academics and professionals sponsored by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Along with ICIS, HICSS is widely considered to be one of the most prestigious international conferences for IS/IT in the world. The conference, which now draws over 600 participants every year, provides a platform for panel discussions and the presentation of peer-reviewed information systems research papers. Papers selected for presentation appear in the HICSS Proceedings, which have grown to constitute nearly 100,000 pages of refereed material in the 39-year history of the conference.
The first HICSS conference, which took place in 1968 at the University of Hawaii, attracted representatives from 11 countries. Since that time, HICSS has grown markedly, and now attracts registered delegates from over three dozen countries every year.

—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard Arkwright, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
