    That was a nicely detailed Amazon presentation yesterday afternoon - not something you see everyday!   Does anyone have photos of the slides?  I'm willing to help piece together a full set from fragments...

    Peter - I didn't receive an invitation to an Amazon briefing.  Was it a closed session? I would like to see the materials.

    No - it was an open plenary.  And packed!

    Peter,

    I agree with you completely. Would INFORMS staff be willing to ask about getting a copy of the slides to post here?

    This was the plenary presentation by Jason Murray of Amazon.  Yes, I would very much like to read his materials.

    Hi All,

    It's great to hear that attendees enjoyed this session so much. I sent a note to Jason Murray this morning to ask whether he's willing to share his slides. Please stay tuned!

    Thank you for helping to make it another great meeting for all of us.

    Hi All,

    Amazon got back to me, and unfortunately they are not able to share their slides outside of the company. They apologize, and appreciate your interest in the presentation.

    Best,
    Tracy
