Events

Participants will be guided through the process of designing, building, and testing AI-enabled workflows using the no-code platform AceTeam.ai. Rather than focusing only on AI concepts, the session emphasizes practical implementation through guided activities, examples, and adaptable teaching materials. Participants will create AI agents for common business tasks, explore workflow automation, and discuss how to bring similar exercises into their own courses to support applied AI learning and AI-ready graduates.

Please bring a laptop & charger.

SEMwise (released Feb 2026) is a browser-based platform for data preparation, bivariate analysis, EFA, CFA, and full SEM, including advanced methods like method bias, measurement invariance, multigroup analysis, moderation, and mediation. This workshop introduces SEMwise through demonstrations, walkthroughs, and hands-on exercises. Widely praised for its usability, SEMwise is suitable for both experienced users and those new to SEM.

This workshop positions spatial intelligence as central to “The Next Transformation,” combining research, case studies, and emerging tools. It demonstrates how spatial perspectives support decision-making across sustainability, public policy, and business while addressing critical issues of privacy, bias, equity, and governance. It also advances Location Analytics as a core component of IS education, engaging participants in identifying research opportunities and practical approaches for integrating spatial thinking into curricula.

Participants will engage in a collaborative, interactive environment, working together to understand and improve a taxonomy describing online transactions with broad practical implications for mobile apps, desktop software, digital games, gamified systems, and other software as a service. Participants will also find a learning opportunity for taxonomy creation and maintenance focused on dynamic feedback and discussion. The co-design format allows participants to evaluate the taxonomy, consider real-world applications, and refining it for their own contexts.

AI agents need memory to manage context, learn, and handle long-running tasks. This workshop offers a practical framework for architecting production-ready memory systems. You’ll explore types of memory, storage patterns, retrieval strategies, and memory lifecycle optimization. By building memory into an AI agent, you’ll see how design choices impact behavior. Earn a skill badge upon completion and gain resources to share with students. Pre-requisites include a laptop and access to Instruqt.

Behavioral and biometric methods are reshaping how scholars study user interaction and decision-making. This hands-on workshop introduces IS researchers and educators to webcam eye tracking, facial expression analysis, and multimodal online experimentation. Participants will explore how AI-powered behavioral analytics apply to UX, interface evaluation, digital communication, and human-AI interaction — and gain practical experience designing and analyzing remote behavioral studies that go beyond self-report measures.

Please bring a laptop with you for data collection exercises.

Discussion concerning how we attract, prepare, and sustain an IS Workforce in the age of rapidly emerging technologies, including AI, cybersecurity, business analytics, big data, and quantum computing. The goal of the event is to generate actionable insights from industry practitioners on strengthening the IS talent pipeline.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and industry professionals to explore the emerging 6G landscape beyond 5G. Featuring insights from three large-scale European Commission projects involving over 75 partners, the session will showcase AI-enabled communication technologies, Edge Computing, sustainability, governance, and real-world pilot applications across healthcare, education, manufacturing, transport, smart cities, and public services. The workshop will also highlight opportunities for international collaboration between North America and the European Union.

Rachel Chung will provide an extended presentation of various labs, teaching aids, and challenges in teaching business students to develop AI applications. Learning objectives regarding advancing critical thinking and responsible behavior are covered. This presentation is drawn from her new textbook, “AI for Business: Building Applications using Python” from Prospect Press.

This workshop demonstrates how experiential learning can enhance cybersecurity education in Information Systems (IS) programs for business school students with diverse technical backgrounds and abilities. Rather than focusing on technical expertise, the approach aims to develop a practical understanding of cybersecurity through applied learning. The session presents a triangulated pedagogical approach combining interactive web-based learning, network analysis tools, and case-based discussion.

AI in teaching raises pedagogical, practical, and methodological questions. This workshop addresses these questions in three parts. The Framework presents an AI-Centered Pedagogy for the AI era. The Companion is a hands-on interface attendees use live to triage a teaching goal, receive a tailored prompt, and engage with a custom AI agent calibrated for IS faculty. Under the Hood walks through the design and build process behind the first two parts, for faculty interested in adapting the approach. Pre-requisites include a laptop and a ChatGPT account (free tier acceptable).

This event will be our official welcome reception for the Doctoral Student Corner where students will have the chance to meet and interact with each other.

Kennesaw State University PhD in Business Administration Program Reception (by invitation only)

Meeting to discuss SIGLead’s objectives and future endeavors

TBD

The AIS Women’s Network College (AISWN) warmly invites AISWN members and non-members to its Welcome event. This is an opportunity to get together, catch up with colleagues and network.

Annual General Meeting for SIGHealth

Annual Meeting for SIG ODIS at AMCIS 2026

Join us for a reception celebrating the Department of Information Systems at the University of Nevada, Reno. This event offers an opportunity to connect while recognizing the department’s achievements in research, education, and innovation. Enjoy light refreshments, expand your professional network, and learn more about our programs, collaborations, and commitment to shaping the future of information systems through excellence in teaching, scholarship, and community engagement.

Annual business meeting followed by social reception.

Annual Meeting for the Special Interest Group on Systems Analysis and Design (SIGSAND) to provide information on SIG events, operations, area of focus, and future events for volunteers and submissions.

AIS SIGSEC provides networking opportunities for people who conduct research, develop and/or teach about information security, assurance, digital forensics, privacy, and information system risk management and auditing. SIGSEC members discuss issues related to the theory, practice, methods, and applications of technologies to better understand and promote sound information security activities by individuals and organizations alike.

We welcome colleagues from across the Midwest to connect and network. This is a great opportunity to learn more about MWAIS, engage with attending board members, and get involved. The event is open to all Midwest attendees, and anyone interested in joining MWAIS.

A networking opportunity for scholars and researchers in Decision Sciences & Analytics. Also an opportunity to discuss how we can can organize ourselves to strategically and operationally make progress as a group.

Workshop designed to support authors submitting to the European Journal of Information Systems Special Issue on Native IS Theories. Will also be of interest to anyone interesting in enhancing their papers’ theoretical contribution.

For those attending AMCIS 2026, we would like to warmly invite you to join us for an informal CANAIS get-together. This will be a relaxed opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, welcome new members, and continue building our Canadian IS community during the conference.

During this event, students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with experienced IS scholars, who will provide advice on how to build a coherent and flexible research trajectory by identifying a core problem space, designing studies that build on each other, and adapting research plans over time. Faculty members will also share what they learned from their personal experiences – what worked, what changed, and what they wish they had known earlier.

This will be our closing event for the Doctoral Student Corner.
