INFORMS Open Forum

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to make you aware that an initial issue with registering for the 21st INFORMS Workshop on Data Mining and Decision Analytics (DMDA) has now been fixed. Initially, the DMDA Workshop did not appear as an add-on session during the annual meeting registration process. This issue has been fixed and you may now register for the workshop. 

If you have already registered for the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting, you may still purchase your workshop registration in the following way: Click "Register Now" on the main page of the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting (you may need to click twice) -> Click "Manage Registration" in the top right corner -> Go to your annual meeting registration item and click the three dots -> Select "Purchase New Sessions" -> Select the "Data Mining and Decision Analytics (DMDA) Workshop..." under Saturday's drop-down list.

As a reminder, workshop papers are due August 1 and the registration deadline for the workshop is October 17. Please see the attached document for more details on the workshop. We look forward to seeing you in SF!
