Pacific IS Workshop

Pacific Information Systems Workshop 2026

Hosted by National University of Samoa

November 23-24, 2026, in Apia, Samoa

We are excited to announce the second annual Pacific Information Systems Workshop, designed to serve as a platform for scholars engaged in the study of information systems across the Pacific region. This workshop is committed to fostering an academic community, promoting understanding of regional information systems, and addressing unique challenges and opportunities within the Pacific context. The objectives of the workshop are to:

• Strengthen the network of researchers exploring Information Systems in the Pacific.
• Offer researchers, including those at early stages of their careers, the chance to present their work, gain valuable insights, and receive feedback.
• Provide support to PhD candidates, Masters students, and Early Career Researchers by connecting them with senior scholars and offering guidance.

While our primary focus is on Information Systems in areas such as emerging technologies (including artificial intelligence), global development, design of digital innovations, cyber security, and educational technologies, we welcome contributions from a range of related domains. The common thread is a shared interest in advancing the understanding and application of Information Systems in the Pacific.
