    For the past few years, the Practice Section of INFORMS has held monthly Happy Hours on the last Friday of each month.  Your topic fits well within the kinds of discussions we have had in the past.  We are looking for someone to organize them for 2026.  Information about our last one in 2025 can be found here:

    https://connect.informs.org/practice/events/virtual-happy-hour

    If you're interested in taking this on, contact the Practice Section officers, found here:
