The Cincinnati-Dayton Chapter hosts a local technical symposium, held in the Fall.  The 2016 Symposium was held Friday Oct. 14; we are currently planning the 2017 Symposium. Submitted and invited papers, presentations and posters are presented on various areas related to OR (applications and innovations). The key note address of the symposium is by the annual Chapter’s Outstanding Young OR/MS winner. 

The conference is designed as a low-cost, local technical symposium with registration fees of $15 for students and $35 for regular, which includes the event, lunch, and the upcoming year's Cincy-Dayton chapter dues.
