Dublin has beaten competition to host the 37th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS). The Capital beat entries from Munich, Vienna and Instanbul to host the event, which is expected to generate €2 million for the local enonomy.
“This is a significant coup for Dublin and reflects Ireland’s growing reputation as a global technology centre,” said Prof Brian Fitzgerald of Lero – the Irish Software Research Centre, who chaired the Dublin bid with Prof John Mooney of Pepperdine University, California.
Running since 1980, ICIS is the premier conference of the Association for Information Systems, which has more than 4,000 members in 95 countries and is the leading professional society for information systems academics. The theme of the conference is Digital Innovation at the Crossroads.
Prof Fizgerald added: “ICIS 2016 will be a timely opportunity to review the technology implications of these metaphorical ‘crossroads’.”
The conference is supported by Science Foundation Ireland and Failte Ireland, as well as by leading companies in the IT sector such as Intel, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Realex Payments and SOS Ventures.
