The Association for Information Systems (AIS) is an international, not-for-profit, professional association for scholars of information systems that was established in 1994.[2][3] The association publishes journals, organizes conferences, and provides a forum for information systems professors and managers. It has members in more than 100 countries.[3]

The association 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.[2]

The association organizes four annual conferences for IS researchers, educators and students: The International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), which alternates between the three world regions, and three regional conferences: the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), and the Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS).
