Pacific Asia Conference On Information Systems
The Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS) is an annual conference for Information Systems and Information Technology academics and professionals and is affiliated with the Association for Information Systems. Its purpose is to provide a high quality forum for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to exchange research findings and ideas on the adoption of leading information-related technologies and practices.
PACIS is considered the premier information systems event in the Asia Pacific region and provides a platform for panel discussions and the presentation of peer-reviewed information systems research papers.
The conference attracts several hundred submissions each year, and those that are selected for presentation appear in the 'PACIS Proceedings’, which are archived online at http://www.pacis-net.org/.
The first PACIS conference took place in 1995 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The 1993 and 1995 conferences carried the title of Pan Pacific Conference on Information Systems. In 1997 the name was changed to the Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems. From 1993 it was a biannual event until 2000. Since 2000, PACIS has been held annually in different cities throughout the Asia Pacific, generally within East Asia and Australasia. The conference now attracts 150 to 200 registered delegates every year with around 150 refereed papers presented.
The PACIS logo consists of a globe positioned on a map of the Asia Pacific.

“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
