The Scientific and Educational Forum on Business Information Systems (SEFBIS) of the John von Neumann Computer Society is organizing its annual conference for the twenty-first time, which continues to attract significant interest. The aim of the event is to provide opportunities for domestic and international professionals, university researchers, PhD students, industry stakeholders, and developers to present their work related to the topic, exchange opinions, build research networks, strengthen the relationship between business and education, and discuss the latest trends and challenges.

Initially, the event was held there, but since 2014 it has become a traveling conference, hosted by a different university each year. In 2025, the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Debrecen will organize the conference, offering participants insights into the latest trends, research, and application opportunities in business informatics and artificial intelligence.
