Meeting ID: 821 5139 1796; Password: MSOM2021
The conference organizers kindly set up these sessions as public events accessible with no conference registration to facilitate attendance by colleagues from industry. Because of a conflict of interest, these sessions and ensuing final deliberations by the Industry Judge Panel will be chaired by Pr. Turgay Ayer, serving as Co-Chair for the competition.
Best regards,
Jérémie Gallien
