Happy Friday!
Student nominations for the IPC, a featured event of the upcoming INFORMS 2017 Business Analytics Conference in Las Vegas, are due next Wednesday, February 22. The full day event, to be held on Sunday, April 2, 2017 from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM will provide M.S. and Ph.D. students nearing graduation with the opportunity to learn from and network with experienced practitioners.
Thanks to generous event sponsors, students selected to attend will receive funding to help defray associated costs. The amount per student has yet to be determined for this year's event, but those attending last year received approximately $700 each.
Following are the relevant dates:
Nomination deadline: Wednesday, February 22, 2017
Notification of Students Selected to Attend: Wednesday, March 8, 2017
