AIS SIGED held its annual International Conference on Information Systems Education and Research (ICISER 2025) on December 13, 2025 in Nashville, USA as a hybrid conference in conjunction with ICIS 2025.
The Special Interest Group on Education (SIGED) of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) stands as a leading voice in the AIS community, recognized for its impactful contributions to the field of Education. While our original focus centered on how we educate in Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT), the scope of our work has expanded significantly in response to the growing societal relevance of these fields.
Today, with the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence, data science, and digital transformation, we increasingly explore how IS/IT not only shapes education but also how education shapes the future of IS/IT. This evolving duality—educating of IS/IT and educating with IS/IT—forms the intellectual backbone of the SIGED-ICISER conference.
Aligned with the overarching theme of ICIS 2025, we also emphasize the importance of understanding and embracing the diverse backgrounds of our students. The theme of this year’s conference is:
Diversity and Inclusion in Information Systems (IS) Education
