    Dear colleague,

    I am organizing a stream of sessions in Analytics and Data Mining for the IFORS 2017 conference in Québec, Canada July 17-21, http://ifors2017.ca  

    The scope of the stream is wide and includes all types of applications and algorithms used in the analytics field.  I welcome all proposals for sessions on this topic.  If you would like to organize a session or give a talk in this stream, please contact me.

    Also, if you would like to organize a session on another topic for this meeting, please go to the IFORS2017 webpage and look at the cluster organizers.  I am sure that there is a cluster that fits your area!   If you cannot find such a cluster, contact me!

    Quebec City is a beautiful city and July is the best time of the year to be there.   IFORS is the International Federation of Operations Research and this is their triennial meeting.   The meeting always has attendance from around the world.    Please consider attending.

    QUEBEC CITY:  A Place to Discover

    The cradle of French North America, shaped by over 400 years of history, Québec City is a charming blend of old and new, offering a wealth of natural, cultural and historic attractions along with the pleasures of city life.

    Take a historical tour through the only fortified city in North America: Visit Old Québec and Place-Royale where Samuel de Champlain built his first house in 1608, the Plains of Abraham where the decisive battle between the English and French took place in 1759, as well as the famous Château Frontenac overlooking the St. Lawrence River.

    Québec City is also home to the Musée de la civilisation, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec as well as the Parliament Building, where the province's National Assembly sits. Rich in history and culture, the city boasts lively streets, fine restaurants, renowned international hotels, art galleries and street entertainers. There are also a large number of resorts in the Québec City area, which offers plenty of outdoor activities anyone can take part in!

    Discover – and enjoy – it for yourself! See you in Quebec City.
