The Transportation Science & Logistics Society of INFORMS is seeking session chairs to organize invited sessions for the 2021 Annual Meeting, held as an hybrid event on Oct. 24-27, at the Anaheim Convention Center & Anaheim Marriott in Anaheim, California, USA. If you are interested in organizing a session, please contact the Special Interest Group (SIG) chair that best fits the topic of your proposed session or the TSL Cluster chairs with your session details.
New in 2021: INFORMS limits speakers to ONE PRESENTATION (invited or contributed) at the Annual Meeting. Only the first presentation submitted with the individual's name as a presenter will be accepted.
The deadline for submitting a request for an invited session is May 1st. As a session chair, you also have until May 1st to confirm the speakers for your session, and until May 15th to have all the abstracts initially submitted.
If you would like your session to be jointly sponsored by another society/section, please notify us during submission.
