The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the largest annual conference of the information theory society, and has been held continuously since 1954. It covers a variety of topics related to the studies on information theory, including coding, communications and communications networks, complexity and cryptography, detection and estimation, learning, Shannon Theory, stochastic processes, and emerging applications of information theory. It is considered one of the premier IEEE conferences. ISIT is the primary meeting venue of the leading researchers in the field, many of whom are supported by grants from the National Science Foundation. It is the ideal venue for researchers to share their latest ideas and results, and to discuss the impact of these results on practical applications. It is also where the more application oriented researchers gain an appreciation for the key theoretical results in the field. The information theory field provides an excellent example of theoretical research working in close synergy with system design and applications. ISIT has also traditionally attracted a large number of students, comprising around 40 per cent of the participant population. ISIT is an excellent learning opportunity for students as well as a means to establish useful research collaborations for the future. Support for student in the US to travel to ISIT is crucial to ensuring a vibrant student participation.

IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory（ISIT）是信息理论学会最大的年度会议，自1954年以来一直举办。它涵盖了与信息理论研究相关的各种主题，包括编码，通信和通信网络，复杂性和密码学，检测和估计，学习，香农理论，随机过程和信息理论的新兴应用。它被认为是IEEE最重要的会议之一。ISIT是该领域领先研究人员的主要会议场所，其中许多人得到了美国国家科学基金会的赠款。它是研究人员分享他们的最新想法和成果，并讨论这些成果对实际应用的影响的理想场所。这也是更多面向应用的研究人员获得该领域的关键理论成果的地方。信息理论领域提供了一个理论研究与系统设计和应用密切协同的很好的例子。ISIT传统上也吸引了大量学生，约占参与者人口的40%。ISIT是学生的一个极好的学习机会，也是为未来建立有用的研究合作的一种手段。支持美国学生前往ISIT是确保学生积极参与的关键。
