2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting

Call for Abstracts to Present at the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting in the TSL Track

Due to changes to the design of the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics (TSL) Society is implementing a new centralized system, where TSL members submit abstracts to a TSL scientific committee, rather than directly to session chairs (as was the process in past conferences). 

Job Market Showcase

Further, the 2025 INFORMS Annual Meeting will feature a Job Market Showcase stream for current PhD students, post-docs, and recent graduates (with actual or anticipated graduation dates between 2023-26) who will be searching for academic or industry jobs in the 2025-26 academic year. This stream will be organized with high visibility to make it easy for potential employers to visit talks by candidates and you can select a TSL designation in that track.  Thus, if you have an actual or anticipated graduation date between 2023-2026, please submit before March 28 for full consideration, here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1G2o2M530Ut7AXH9Dg8P1ackBWxor4twNnPGiLtmYQRc/viewform?edit_requested=true

Presentation slot

If you are not a job market showcase candidate, please complete this form to be considered for an TSL invited presentation slot at the 2025 INFORMS annual meeting: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCjFYkcBTwuhuAsWG33u28QRMW_WWeDD_QlpEDuoETHUfOoA/viewform

Given TSL has access to only a limited number of sessions, submitted abstracts will be reviewed by a TSL Scientific Committee. The committee will determine whether your submitted abstract gets slotted for a research presentation, a flash talk, or a poster presentation.  Entries will be judged according to the following criteria:

  • Scientific quality and contribution to the research literature
  • Relevance to TSL
  • Readability, clarity, conciseness, and coherence

We are excited to receive your talk abstract.  As you fill out the form, please consider:

  • The 2025 Annual Meeting limit talks to one per attendee.  Thus, you should only submit one abstract to this call as a presenting author.  Authors can be listed as a non-presenting author on multiple abstracts.
  • TSL membership is required to present in one of TSL's invited sessions. If you are not a TSL member, you can become one https://www.informs.org/About-INFORMS/Member-Benefits/Join-INFORMS-and-or-INFORMS-Communities  
  • To receive full consideration, you must submit this form by April 17, 2025 Midnight Your Local Time. While TSL will accept submissions past this deadline, preference for our limited capacity will be given to submissions prior to the deadline.

If you have questions, please contact a member of the TSL Annual Meeting Scientific Committee:
