The International Conference On Information Systems (ICIS)

Founded in 1980, the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) is the most prestigious gathering of information systems academics and research-oriented practitioners in the world. The ICIS conference assembles the global IS community every year to offer 80+ workshops, panels, SIG events and coordinates a highly competitive scholarly peer-review process amongst thousands of submissions to invite 400+ presentations of the leading IS research projects.

ICIS was founded 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.
