Dear members,
 
I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share a few updates from the Section.
 
First, our section conference will take place on July 21-23, 2026, at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. We are putting together an exciting program of talks, and I hope many of you will be able to join us. I would also like to thank the organizing committee members, Hyun Soo Ahn, Lennart Baardman, Izak Duenyas, Stefanus Jasin, Jun Li, and Mohamed Mostagir, for all their hard work. More details, including registration information, are available on the conference website (here).
 
Each year, we also celebrate important contributions from our community through our Section Award and Jeff McGill Student Paper Award. I am very pleased that we have excellent committees in place for all three awards. The announcement for the Section Award and the Jeff McGill Student Paper Award will take place at the INFORMS Annual Meeting in November 2026.
 
For the Section Award, the committee is chaired by Adam Elmachtoub from Columbia and includes Florin Ciocan (INSEAD), Fanyin Zheng (Imperial), Ozan Candogan (U Chicago). More details on the submission guidelines can be found in the competition announcement (here). The submission deadline is August 3, 2026.

I would like to thank all the committee members for their service and for supporting these important awards.
