This is the final reminder for those of you who are interested in attending or presenting at the second workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Operations Management Research (AIMOR 2026) at the heart of the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains. This two-day workshop is designed to explore and advance the integration of AI/ML with Operations Management research.
