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. Its status has been recognized as an ERA-ranked A-conference. In 2011, the ACIS Conference will be hosted by the Discipline of Business Information Systems, The University of Sydney Business School. The event will take place in the University's state-of-the-art facilities. The campus is located adjacent to the Central Business District of Sydney, the cosmopolitan social and business gateway to Australia.

Tutorials are planned to be run immediately prior to the start of the conference i.e. afternoon of 29 November. It is assumed that tutorials will be run to demonstrate new methodological or technological advances in IS and will have an associated fee to cover room booking and any catering costs.

Workshops and panel discussions will complement the core of the ACIS 2011 conference and as such will be held in a 1.5 hour slot within the conference program. Workshops should facilitate the focused exchange of ideas and experiences between active researchers, and stimulate discussions on new and emerging issues in line with the conference theme. Workshops may concentrate on research topics, or may also be devoted to issues such as applications, standardization, or curriculum development. Workshops will provide the opportunity to generate output for general distribution to the IS community. Panel discussions will allow for the open conversation of topics related and relevant to the ACIS conference theme among a group of experts. The conference organizers are able to facilitate contacts to local industry representatives, if this is of interest for the organizer of a workshop or panel.
