21st Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS2010)

Brisbane, Australia
1-3 December 2010 
http://acis2010.org

The Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) is the premier conference in Australasia for Information Systems academics and professionals, covering technical, organisational, business and social issues in the application of Information Technology. In 2010, the ACIS Conference will be jointly organised by Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and The University of Queensland (UQ). The event will take place at the QUT Gardens Point Campus. The campus is located in the Central Business District of Brisbane, the fastest growing city in Australia. With 1.7 million people, Brisbane offers all the facilities and infrastructure of a global hub for technology and tourism.

Conference Theme
ACIS 2010 will be dedicated to the definition and establishment of Information Systems as a discipline of high impact for the scientific community and IS professionals. The focus will be on approaches that facilitate the identification of research questions of significant relevance that are studied by following sound research methodologies and that lead to results of measurable impact. Thus, the theme for ACIS 2010 will be: 'Information Systems: Defining and Establishing a High Impact Discipline'.

ACIS 2010 will be organised into eleven conference tracks, and will also incorporate tutorials, workshops and two co-located events (QualIT and ACKMIDS). The conference will feature three visionary keynotes by Professor Robert Galliers (Bentley University), Brian Prentice (Gartner), and Dean Kingsley (Deloitte). The event will also provide plentiful opportunities for networking through several social events, starting with a reception at the beautiful Old Government House through to a conference dinner at the stunning Hillstone St Lucia and featuring the Elementz band. In addition to the planned social events, the conference will also provide many opportunities to connect with relevant industry participants.
