INFORMS members,
I am excited to announce that this year's annual Government & Analytics Summit will be held Monday, May 20 in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C.
The annual INFORMS Government & Analytics Summit is designed to bring together leading experts in the fields of O.R. and analytics with policymakers from Capitol Hill, federal agencies and other policy stakeholders to showcase ways in which these scientific and mathematical processes are being used to save lives, save money and solve problems in the public and private sectors.
This year's keynote speaker, The Honorable John M. McHugh, will draw from his extensive experience as the second-longest serving Secretary of the United States Army to share the essential role O.R. and analytics have played in national security since World War II and elsewhere in organizations that rely on turning data into information, and information into insights for better decision making and improved results.
Following McHugh's remarks, a panel of national O.R. and analytics experts will share unique insights from putting these tools into action across a broad section of current examples in the federal government and industry.
Stay tuned for more to come! For more updates, head over to the Government & Analytics Summit group on Connect or RSVP if you plan to attend the Summit.
