Dear Colleagues

The 46th Annual conference of the South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists (SAICSIT) will be hosted at the Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel from July 17th to 18th, 2025 as an in-person conference. This edition of the conference is co-hosted by the Discipline of Information Systems and Technology and the Discipline of Computer Science, at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

The SAICSIT conference remains the pinnacle South African event for computing professionals and the theme for this edition is: “Sustainable Digital Intelligent Frontiers” where we will engage with research around advancements in sustainable technological innovation.

The proliferation of digital applications through cloud-based applications has the potential to have a massive negative impact on our environment. However,  it is also evident that the impact of technology is broader and deeper. Ethical issues that have emerged, and are envisaged, pose serious threats to society. While technology innovators dive headlong into creating the newest, best, and fastest applications, it is incumbent on the research community to engage with these advancements responsibly.

Sustainability is at the heart of all corporate initiatives and is a required reporting item for organisations and as information systems are at the core of any modern enterprise our disciplines should embrace ethical, environmental and societal perspectives in everything we do. We invite you to join us in Umhlanga in July 2025 as we collectively engage with the frontiers of technological advances through a series of innovative keynote lectures and though-provoking research papers and discussions.

SAICSIT 2025 promises an engaging and dynamic program featuring two dedicated tracks: Computer Science and Information Systems. Each track will delve into a diverse array of topics, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the latest trends, challenges, and breakthroughs in our fields. From cutting-edge research presentations and thought-provoking panel discussions to hands-on workshops and networking opportunities, this conference is designed to inspire and equip you with the insights and tools needed to drive the future of technology.

Join us in Durban, a city renowned for its vibrant culture, stunning coastline, and warm hospitality. The Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel provides the perfect backdrop for our gathering, offering state-of-the-art facilities and breathtaking views that will make your experience truly unforgettable.

We look forward to your participation in SAICSIT 2025. Together, let’s push the boundaries of what’s possible and forge a path towards a sustainable, intelligent future.

Save the dates: July 17th to 18th, 2025. Prepare to be inspired, to innovate, and to lead the charge into the next frontier of digital intelligence.

Warm regards,

Dr Upasana Singh
