Association for Information Systems

The Association for Information Systems (AIS) is an international, not-for-profit, professional association.[2] Membership is made up primarily of academic educators, researchers and institutions that specialize in information systems (IS) development, implementation and evaluation.[3] The association has members in more than 90 countries,[2] and is led by a president who is annually elected from one of three world regions—the Americas, Europe and Africa and Asia-Pacific—on a rotating basis. The governing Council is made up of elected functional vice-presidents and other officers and council members who are elected in the three world regions.[3] The association organizes two annual conferences for IS researchers, educators and students: The International Conference on Information Systems (I.C.I.S.), which alternates between the three world regions and the Americas Conference For Information Systems (AMCIS), which is located at different sites in North, Central and South America. The Association publishes academic journals including:[4]
