MIS Conferences⚓︎

The International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) is the most prestigious gathering of information systems academics and research-oriented practitioners in the world. Every year its 270 or so papers and panel presentations are selected from more than 800 submissions. The conference activities are primarily delivered by and for academics, though many of the papers and panels have a strong professional orientation.

ICIS was founded in 1980 at UCLA and the first conference was held at the University of Pennsylvania as the " Conference on Information Systems". By 1986, particularly as the result of Canadian and European attendance and participation, " International" was appended to the name, thereby creating the International Conference on Information Systems. ICIS became truly international in 1990 when the conference was first held outside North America in Copenhagen, Denmark.

WITS, the Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems is an academic conference for information systems that is held annually in December in conjunction with ICIS (the International Conference on Information Systems).

The WITS community is focused on addressing complex business problems or societal issues using current and emerging information technologies.  We also encourage research that can change the way information technology functions (e.g., by designing, modifying, or constructing systems) so that they can better solve real-world problems. All problem-solving paradigms – including empirical, analytical, behavioral, experimental, and computational – are invited. Integrative approaches, whether methodological or functional, are welcome.

WITS research is often prescriptive (toward providing a solution to a problem), rather than descriptive (explaining a phenomenon), unless the explanation clearly helps in developing a solution. We particularly invite work that is early, but has the potential to make a significant impact – innovation and novelty are at least as important as completeness and rigor.

The TEIS workshop is designed to provide a community for researchers who use analytical modeling techniques in the area of economics of information systems. Although a number of workshops and conferences accept research based on analytical models, these tend to be diffused with inadequate time for presentation, discussion and Q&A.

TEIS workshop complements such venues by providing a focused and intense environment for interaction among researchers to assist in the development of the field and help advance shared understanding about various aspects of modeling research. TEIS workshops have a single track with one hour per paper so everyone can participate substantively in the discussion.

Started in 2005 by Ravi Bapna (currently at University of Minnesota), Wolfgang Jank (currently at University of South Florida), and Galit Schmueli (National Tsing Hua University), the Workshop on Statistical Conference in E-Commerce Research (SCECR) is a leading workshop attracting many top researchers throughout the world in the areas of information systems, quantitative marketing, economics,  statistics, machine learning, and computer science.

The workshop covers diverse domains such as e-commerce, social media, digital content, finance, and telecommunications.  Methods include econometric, machine learning, statistical inference, and unstructured and Big Data techniques.  The theme this year will be related to Big Data and economic impact.

The Conference on Health IT and Analytics (previously known as the Workshop on Health IT & Economics) is an annual health IT and analytics research summit, including a doctoral consortium that each year gathers prominent scholars from more than 40 research institutes, and leading policy and practitioner attendees in a vibrant setting to discuss opportunities and challenges in the design, implementation and management of health information technology and analytics.

Its goal is to deepen our understanding of strategy, policy and systems fostering health IT and analytics effective use and to stimulate new ideas with both policy and business implications. This forum provides a productive venue to facilitate collaboration among academia, government, and industry. Now in its eleventh year, each year CHITA draws over 120 participants.

Since 1968, the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) has been known worldwide as the longest-standing working scientific conferences in Information Technology Management.

HICSS provides a highly interactive working environment for top scholars from academia and the industry from over 60 countries to exchange ideas in various areas of information, computer, and system sciences. According to Microsoft Academic, HICSS ranks the 36th in terms of citations among 4,444 conferences in all fields worldwide.

As China has become a major player in the world’s economy and various technological fields, information systems and management research opportunities are abundant for scholars around the globe.

The purpose of China Summer Workshop on Information Management (CSWIM) is to create a new bridge for promoting exchanges between scholars in China and overseas in the area of information systems and management. In particular, CSWIM focuses on creating a unique experience for MIS researchers around the world who would like to communicate and collaborate with China-based scholars.

The field of information systems has a long tradition of using analytical modeling (e.g. game-theoretical and mathematical models) to understand information systems phenomena and generate useful recommendations. With many emerging phenomena in IS, the need for this type of applied theory research is ever greater. However, the forums for this style of inquiry are rather limited, especially for analytical modeling scholars in China and the surrounding regions. The purpose of the China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST) is to bring together a community of scholars in China and around the world with a shared interest in using analytical modeling to study issues in IS and related fields. We hope this summer workshop to become a unique forum for this community to exchange ideas, hone our skills, and form new collaborations across geographical boundaries.

Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) is an international professional organization representing the interests of POM professionals from around the world.

The purposes of the Society are:

• to extend and integrate knowledge that contributes to the improved understanding and practice of production and operations management (POM);
• to disseminate information on POM to managers, scientists, educators, students, public and private organizations, national and local governments, and the general public; and
• to promote the improvement of POM and its teaching in public and private manufacturing and service organizations throughout the world

Design science research (DSR) in information systems (IS) has received significant attention in the information systems research community. In an immersed society, where there are numerous wicked problems on all levels of analysis, DSR is an ideal approach to understand  complex challenges and support the design of useful solutions, making provision for rigour and relevance. Based on multi-stakeholder problem analysis and informed by existing descriptive and design knowledge, well-designed innovative methods, solution patterns, reference models and exemplary IS solutions promise to be effective means of addressing many of today’s challenges – and will contribute to the further development of DSR’s methodological foundations. The better we get at integrating humans, organisations and machines, the better we will be able to use all means possible to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The United Nations, with its economic and social development agenda, as it pertains to sustainability, ultimately impacts all countries, organisations, teams and individuals through the SDGs.
