International Conference on Information Systems is a leading annual academic conference in the field of Management Information Systems Research and Information Technology Research. The conference serves as a central forum for scholars from Harvard University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford as well as researchers affiliated with INSEAD, London School of Economics, University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon University to present cutting‑edge work. It attracts participants from Association for Information Systems, ACM, IEEE, National Science Foundation, and industry partners such as Microsoft, IBM, Google, Amazon (company), and SAP SE.
The conference traces roots to collaborative gatherings among scholars associated with University of Minnesota, University of Texas at Austin, Northwestern University, Indiana University Bloomington, and University of California, Berkeley in the 1970s and 1980s. Early meetings were influenced by intellectual movements at Stanford Graduate School of Business, MIT Sloan School of Management, Wharton School, and Kellogg School of Management and reflected debates prominent at RAND Corporation, Bell Labs, and IBM Research. Over decades the event expanded through partnerships with Association for Computing Machinery, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and regional hubs such as Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and European Commission research initiatives.
Governance has historically involved elected officers and program committees drawn from institutions including University of Washington, University of Toronto, The University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, and Nanyang Technological University. Steering committees have included representatives from Association for Information Systems, AIS Council, ACM SIGMIS, and funding bodies like National Institutes of Health. Administrative hosts have rotated among universities such as University of Melbourne, University of Auckland, Seoul National University, Peking University, and Tsinghua University in coordination with local organizers from municipal partners like City of San Francisco, Singapore Government, Australian Research Council, and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.
Program structures mirror standards used by ACM SIGMOD, IEEE INFOCOM, NeurIPS, AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, and International Federation for Information Processing events. Typical tracks include research streams aligned with centers at MIT Media Lab, Oxford Internet Institute, Center for Social Media, and labs such as Google Research, Microsoft Research Cambridge, and Facebook AI Research. Specialized tracks cover topics associated with Blockchain Research Institute, Internet of Things World Forum, Human-Computer Interaction Institute, Data Science Institute, and policy‑oriented sessions reflecting work from European Data Protection Board and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
The submission process follows peer review conventions used by Journal of Management Information Systems, MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Communications of the ACM, and IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. Program committees are often chaired by scholars from Cornell University, Duke University, University of Chicago, Yale University, and Columbia University and include reviewers with affiliations to Bell Labs Research, AT&T Labs, Siemens AG, Cisco Systems, and Oracle Corporation. Acceptance rates and double‑blind procedures are comparable to those at CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, International Conference on Machine Learning, and SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.
Notable editions have been hosted in cities with major academic clusters such as San Francisco, New York City, London, Dublin, Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Toronto, Vancouver, Zurich, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Cape Town. Landmark meetings coincided with global events such as sessions connected to World Economic Forum, G20 Summit, United Nations General Assembly, and regional summits hosted by ASEAN and European Union institutions.
Keynote rosters have featured leading figures affiliated with Peter Drucker School of Management, Clayton Christensen Institute, Herbert Simon Prize recipients, and scholars linked to Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winners’ institutions. Prominent speakers have come from Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Stanford Graduate School of Business, UC Berkeley School of Information, London Business School, and leading corporate research labs including Microsoft Research, IBM Research, and Google DeepMind. Major awards presented at the conference align with honors such as the AIS Fellow Award, ACM Fellowship, IEEE Fellow, and discipline prizes recognized by Academy of Management and Royal Society affiliates.
The conference has shaped research agendas intersecting with projects at National Science Foundation, European Research Council, Horizon 2020, FP7, and national research councils in United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, China, and Singapore. Influential papers from the conference have been integrated into curricula at Stanford University School of Engineering, MIT School of Engineering, Yale School of Management, and cited in policy work at Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and World Bank. Cross‑disciplinary exchanges foster collaborations with centers such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Oxford Internet Institute, Harvard Kennedy School, and industrial consortia including Open Data Institute, Linux Foundation, and W3C.
