Dr. Christine van Toorn<\/strong>, University of New South Wales, NSW, AU The Women in IS Networking Event<\/strong> is a signature annual gathering at the Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS),<\/strong> open to all genders<\/em> and is designed to foster meaningful engagement, collegiality, and inclusive leadership in the IS community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year at ACIS we also explicitly acknowledge Diversity in IT<\/strong> in all of its forms, in a spirit of inclusion and solidarity. We recognise that diversity and difference must be valued in universities and workplaces as well as our societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This event brings together a vibrant cross-section of scholars, educators, PhD students, and industry professionals in the IS discipline to network, share stories and build meaningful, lasting connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you’re just beginning your academic journey or are a seasoned IS professional, this is a welcoming space to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Expect an energising mix of informal networking, storytelling, and table conversations centred on equity, diversity, and inclusion in our field. This year introduces a new \u201cTable Talks\u201d initiative<\/strong>, where attendees can propose and host open, informal dialogues on themes that matter – from Indigenous research methodologies and underrepresented perspectives to Special Issue proposals and community-driven EDI initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This initiative goes beyond typical networking. It creates a space for conversations that often remain on the margins of mainstream academic programming. It\u2019s an opportunity to bring your ideas, passions, and curiosity to the table – and to engage in dialogue that reflects the true diversity<\/em> of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring your whole self and a genuine spirit of community. Support, while being supported. Learn about others, while reflecting on your own journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We believe equity and diversity are foundational to innovation in IS\/IT research, education, and practice. This event is part of ACIS\u2019s ongoing commitment to building a more inclusive, reflective, and connected discipline. Join us at ACIS 2025 and be part of a conversation that counts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t miss it \u2013 please make a note of the date and time in your calendar. <\/strong>Full event details coming soon in the ACIS 2025 program!
