The BIS 2026 Chair invites Program Committee members of the conference, scientists, and practitioners to organize Workshops and Events (e.g., symposium, consortium meeting, project dissemination meeting, special session, etc.) to be held in conjunction with the BIS 2026 Conference, taking place on June 10-12, 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic.
The submission deadline for workshops and events proposals is December 15, 2025. If your schedule does not allow you to undertake this effort, feel free to forward this invitation to a colleague.
For 25 years, BIS has provided a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, and academics to present and discuss ideas, challenges, and potential solutions on established or emerging topics related to research and practice in business information systems. More information on the current and previous editions of the BIS conference is available on the conference web site at https://bisconf.org.
BIS 2026 workshops and events may address all aspects of business information systems. In particular, they may focus on the conference theme: “From Hype to Impact: Turning AI into Real Business Value” as well as the topics listed in the Call for Papers among the categories:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Large Language Models
- Knowledge Graphs
- Multimodal Models
- Big Data and Data Science
- Digital Transformation
- Modern Society
- Applications, Evaluations, and Experiences
The proposed workshop may take place over any duration within the conference dates, from a half-day to three days. The BIS organizing team will support its organization, including participant registration, website creation, and partial promotion of the call for papers, allowing workshop organizers to focus on the scientific aspects of the event (i.e., review and selection of papers, structuring presentations into sessions, etc.).
The details regarding workshop organization are available in the BIS Workshop Policy document.

The post-proceedings of BIS 2026 workshops will be published as a volume in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series by Springer Nature.
