Dear Colleagues,
The University of Washington Foster School of Business and Indiana University Kelley School of Business are jointly hosting the 2024 Symposium on Environmental and Social Sustainability in Supply Chains, on October 19, 2024 (Saturday), just before the INFORMS Annual Meeting, at the Foster School of Business on UW campus in Seattle, the same plan as we announced in July.
We are excited to welcome once again distinguished scholars from our community, including Charles Corbett, Aleda Roth, Jeannette Song, and Brian Tomlin, as well as industry experts from (tentatively) Amazon, Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, and Starbucks, to share insights on a diverse range of sustainability topics. We are grateful to our colleagues at UW, particularly Shi Chen, for their planning over the summer and in the coming months, as they work to finalize speaker confirmations and ensure a successful event.
Registration will be open in a week. If you are interested in attending, please plan your travels accordingly, ideally arriving the day before, as we're planning a full-day event from breakfast to late afternoon. The UW campus is a short ride from the INFORMS conference hotels.
We look forward to seeing you in Seattle.
