Spring Workshop on Information Systems 

The Spring Workshop on Information Systems (SWIS 2026) marks the revival of the joint Information Systems (IS) research workshop between the IS groups in the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University of Washington (UW), with participation from other neighboring universities in the Pacific Northwest.

The workshop will be hosted at UBC on Friday, May 29, 2026. Going forward, the workshop is envisioned as a recurring event, with hosting responsibilities rotating among participating institutions.

SWIS 2026 aims to foster intellectual exchange and strengthen research connections across institutions by providing a focused forum for discussing ongoing IS research, sharing early-stage ideas, and receiving constructive feedback from peers.

This workshop is co-organized by Elina Hwang (UW) and Gene Moo Lee (UBC), with the program led by Stephanie Lee (UW) and Mi Zhou (UBC). Additional details regarding the program structure and participation will be announced as planning progresses.
