Held since Now in its 36th year, ACIS is an <strong>Affiliated AIS Conference<\/strong> and indexed by allowing ACIS research to be disseminated worldwide.

This year for example, a new [Provocations Track] aims to foreground uncomfortable and potentially controversial matters of relevance to the discipline. This track is also a new article development pathway to the Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) our diamond, open access Q1 ranked journal; see SCIMAGO. Another innovation is the [IS Disciplinary Forum]. This is an activity that is undertaken in three parts. The first is a virtual meeting conducted in late August\/early Sept, that \u2018crowdsources\u2019 questions that are considered by attendees to be critical to the sector and discipline. Extended abstracts are requested from contributors with espoused positions on questions that emerge at the virtual meeting. Examples of questions might be, \u2018government changing regulations on overseas students\u2019, \u2018university executive mismanagement and potential government inquiries\u2019 or the \u2018disruptive role of AI in the sector\u2019 etc. The second part will be a forum held at the conference, conducted like a focus group with the\u2019 feel\u2019 of an episode of Insights (if you are familiar with that SBS program). We will record the discussions and in real time build mind-maps for each of the discussion questions. The third part of the IS Policy Forum is to consolidate the discussions into a white paper, to be published in our own AAIS Preprint service (also about to be launched latter this year), available to the community, that will uncover issues and inform policy and action for the community.\">IS Disciplinary Forum<\/a>.
