Speaking about the conference theme, Dr. Atish Chattopadhay, Director, JAGSoM said, “In the past decade, digital adoption has grown exponentially, more so under COVID-19 restrictions. How do experts design for immersive ‘physical’ (example, in-store/in-class) experiences while leveraging the efficiency and instant gratification of the ‘digital’ world? This is the essence of ‘phygital’, the combination of ‘physical’ and ‘digital’ for enhanced experiences.”

Dr. Chattopadhay further added, “I am glad that JAGSoM has been able to attract some very dignified personalities to deliberate and find answers to these issues in the ISDSI Global Conference 2022. For us at JAGSoM, this is a special occasion as this will be the first campus visit of our Chairman Prof. Jagdish Sheth, post rechristening of the institution. I would also like to congratulate those 150+ scholars across nations, whose papers are accepted for presentation.”

In the context of building successful phygital businesses, enabled by data science, innovative practices, and to explore the sustainability of such businesses in the long run, the conference will feature theme-based workshops for faculty and doctoral students, parallel technical tracks, Directors’ Panel, Editors’ Panel, networking with senior scholars, and many more sessions.
