Definition

BIS (Business Information Systems) is an annual international academic conference focused on the development, implementation, and evaluation of computer-based information systems for business. Now in its 26th edition, BIS 2026 is hosted at Prague University of Economics and Business and organised by VSE. The 2026 theme, "From Hype to Impact: Turning AI into Real Business Value," reflects a shift from speculative AI discussions toward evidence-based examination of AI deployment in business contexts. The event is in-person only.

What the 2026 edition covers

The 2026 programme examines AI through the lens of business information systems: how AI technologies translate into measurable organisational value, where implementations fail to deliver, and what theoretical and practical frameworks help practitioners navigate AI adoption. The academic paper format is complemented by practitioner contributions and case study presentations.
