Dear Colleagues,
We're excited to invite you to submit your work to the 56th Decision Sciences Institute Annual Conference!
Under the theme of "Revolutionizing Decision-Making: Technology and Human Collaboration," this year's conference features 25 tracks with hundreds of research presentations, inspiring keynotes, and a wide range of professional development opportunities-including workshops, consortia, and networking events. Together, we will explore how decision sciences spark innovation, transform operations, and shape the future of business. A special highlight at this year's conference is the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in both research and teaching. Our academic keynote speaker, Maxime Cohen from McGill University, will share his thoughts on Generative AI for pricing -a thought-provoking topic at the intersection of AI and business strategy.
We invite you to
- Present your latest research findings and engage with fellow scholars over the world
- Share innovative teaching methods that shape the next generation of decision science professionals
- Organize workshops and panels with academic and industry leaders to explore the latest advancements in the field
- Compete for various best paper awards, research showcase awards, and Elwood S. Buffa Doctoral Dissertation Award
