Dear Colleagues,
The Transportation Science & Logistics Section of INFORMS is seeking session chairs and abstracts for the annual meeting. If you are interested in organizing a session or giving a talk, please contact the Special Interest Group (SIG) chair that best fits the topic of your proposed session or abstract. We will then work with the SIG chairs to finalize session scheduling.
If you are interested in organizing a session, please provide the SIG Chair your session title and the names of 3-4 speakers for the session.
If you are interested in giving a presentation, please provide the SIG Chair your title and abstract.
If you would like your session or talk to be jointly sponsored by another society/section (e.g., Location Analysis Section, the Section for Public Programs, Services and Needs, Railroad Applications Section), please notify us during submission. Additionally, this year, the Energy and Climate Applications Cluster and the INFORMS Practice Program are very keen on joint sessions with TSL, so we encourage members to actively contribute to these themes as well.
