Achieving Digital Integration in the Age of AI
Please join us in Nashville, TN – the capital of the country music industry – for ICIS 2025 themed “Achieving Digital Integration in the Age of AI”.
We invite papers that study the integration of technology into modern work, social, and personal life. Understanding the ways in which technology permeates life and mediates experiences contributes to our understanding of the macro and micro aspects of human existence. In addition to papers directly addressing the conference theme, we offer 24 specialist research tracks that explore all key areas of the digital economy, including mechanisms that underpin functioning economies, the increasingly digital social life in which society is engaged, and the fully emergent digital entertainment milieu that surrounds us.
Submit your best work to the conference. Full details of all the tracks can be found on the website here.

Journal Publication Policy
The AIS Policy on Conference and Journal Publication encourages conference papers to be published in journals. This policy applies to AIS conferences (there are no copyright issues to prevent your AIS conference paper from being published in any journal (AIS or not)), and to AIS journals (there are no restrictions preventing you from submitting your conference paper to an AIS journal). Many non-AIS journals have similar policies, so you can submit your AIS conference paper to them. The policy and list of non-AIS journals with similar policies, is available at the Policy page.
