    Dear Colleagues:

    We are happy to announce that the 66th annual conference of Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) will take place in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 9–11, 2025.

    Conference venue: The Westin Edmonton

    Located in downtown Edmonton, the conference venue provides easy access to several restaurants and museums, the Edmonton Arts and Ice Districts, and the Edmonton River Valley (the largest urban park in Canada). If you are willing to travel a bit out of downtown (only 25 min. drive), you can visit the second largest shopping centre in North America, the West Edmonton Mall. If you are willing to travel a bit further (well, maybe not a tiny bit, about 4 hours drive from Edmonton), you can visit one of the most beautiful national parks in Canada, the Jasper National Park.
