Welcome to ICISET 2026
The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) is proud to host the 5th International Conference on Information Systems and Emerging Technologies (ICISET 2026), a premier gathering designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry in the ever-evolving landscape of Information Systems.
ICISET 2026 is more than a conference. It is a movement. This is your space to connect with researchers, academics, practitioners, and industry professionals from across the globe, people who are not just watching the future of technology unfold, but actively building it. Whether you are presenting groundbreaking research, seeking collaborators, or exploring new directions for your work, ICISET 2026 is where those conversations begin.
"Technology does not transform society on its own. People do. ICISET exists to bring those people together."
About the Conference
ICISET 2026 serves as a dynamic and collaborative forum where the global Information Systems community comes together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and explore cutting-edge advancements and emerging trends shaping the future of technology. The conference fosters meaningful dialogue at the intersection of technology and society, and provides a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration that transcends geographical and institutional boundaries.
From foundational research to real-world applications, ICISET 2026 spans the full spectrum of Information Systems scholarship. Attendees can expect keynote addresses from globally recognised thought leaders, peer-reviewed paper presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and ample opportunity for networking with peers who share a passion for technology-driven change.
Four Pillars of Purpose
Knowledge Exchange
Share and discover cutting-edge research across disciplines, connecting the dots between isolated fields of inquiry to generate new and unexpected insights.
Collaboration
Build partnerships that outlast the conference itself. ICISET is a springboard for joint research projects, institutional agreements, and professional relationships that continue to grow long after the closing ceremony.
Innovation
Explore emerging trends shaping the future of Information Systems and technology. From artificial intelligence to digital governance, ICISET is where the next wave of innovation is surfaced and scrutinised.
Global Impact
Ground technology in real-world, society-level challenges. ICISET bridges the gap between what is technically possible and what communities, organisations, and governments actually need.
Our Legacy
The 1st and 2nd editions were held in Namibia, laying a strong foundation for what the conference would become. Subsequent editions carried the torch to South Africa and Ghana, demonstrating the breadth of Africa's engagement with global technology scholarship.
Building on the success of its previous editions, ICISET 2026 continues its tradition of fostering meaningful dialogue, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation at the intersection of technology and society. Each year, the conference raises the bar, expanding its reach, deepening its impact, and strengthening the community it serves.
