    Dear Colleague,

    The pandemic has disrupted the way we convene and exchange knowledge. Conferences were forced to move virtual, and we experimented with new forms of interaction. 

    At this point, we would like to ask for your help to provide our societies with information on how to shape the future of our conferences.

    To this end, Informs, MSOM, POMS, and EurOMA are supporting our team in surveying members to measure the perceived value proposition of in-person and virtual conferences. We would very much appreciate if you can help us by filling out the survey at the following link before it closes on February 15. The estimated time is 6-7 minutes. 
    The results will be shared with all the involved Societies and made publicly available to trigger a fruitful debate.
