Dear INFORMS colleagues,
We are inviting abstracts for talks in the "AI for Online Marketplaces" session (AI Cluster) at the INFORMS Annual Meeting. Each talk will be 15-20 min (including Q&A). We are generally interested in works that leverage AI and ML methods, including agentic AI, for solving complex operational or customer experience problems arising from online marketplaces of vertical domains (e.g., ridesharing, real estate, food delivery, freelance, retail).
The conference is taking place in San Francisco, from Nov 1-4.
If you are interested, please reach out to me at zq2107@caa.columbia.edu.
Here are some important dates:
- Session Chair Deadline (to add speakers): May 4, 2026
- Abstract Submission Deadline: May 20, 2026
- Speaker Registration Deadline: July 22, 2026
- Early Registration Deadline: September 2, 2026
