KrAIS 2025 SUMMER WORKSHOP
“Riding the AI Wave: AI and Digital Business Shaping the Future from Busan to the World”
Busan Port International Exhibition &Convention Center (BPEX), Busan, Korea
June 30- July 1, 2025
The Korean Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (KrAIS) is excited to announce its upcoming annual Summer Workshop, to be held at Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center (BPEX) in Busan, Korea. As a Korea Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), KrAIS is dedicated to fostering scholarship among AIS members of Korean heritage and beyond. We extend a warm invitation to researchers and professionals across the globe who are involved in the development, application, and utilization of digital technologies to participate in our event.
This year's theme, “Riding the AI Wave: AI and Digital Business Shaping the Future from Busan to the World,” encourages a forward-looking dialogue on the evolution of technology. Leveraging Busan’s dynamic status as an AI and finance hub, this theme invites participants to explore the future of technology. In this conference, we will discuss global tech trends, the future of finance, innovation, and strategies for navigating the uncertainties and opportunities of an AI-driven future. The workshop aims to serve as a productive platform where KrAIS scholars and professionals can engage in meaningful discussions on these critical research topics.
The workshop is designed as a venue for the exchange of ideas, the promotion of cooperation among attendees, and the facilitation of connections between Korean scholars. Furthermore, it aims to offer valuable networking prospects for graduate students and junior faculty to refine their research skills, advance their academic pursuits, and progress in their careers through direct engagement and advice from their peers and senior scholars. Importantly, a Doctoral Consortium will be organized as a part of the workshop, scheduled for the first day of the conference (June 30).
In line with the theme, we are seeking submissions that address global tech trends, innovation futures, and strategies for an uncertain AI-driven world. Submissions can be in the form of completed full papers or work-in-progress short papers. Each submission will undergo a review process by our program committee. Accepted full papers will be discussed in-depth with a designated discussant – a senior scholar with notable publishing or editorial experience (e.g., former and current SE, AE, and reviewers from Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly). Meanwhile, accepted short papers will be presented in a dedicated session without a discussant. We especially encourage doctoral students and junior faculty to submit their work. Papers authored by students will be given priority consideration.
Join us for a compelling exploration of the AI and digital future.
