  • 1.  Call for Session Chairs: AI Cluster of 2023 INFORMS Annual Meeting

    Posted 02-06-2023 22:05
    Dear colleagues,

    The upcoming INFORMS Annual Meetings will be hosted in Phoenix, Arizona during October 15-18, 2023. We are delighted to invite session chairs in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) cluster at INFORMS 2023. We encourage proposals that range over theories, applications, and methodologies of Artificial Intelligence in addressing relevant issues of research and practice. Chairing a session is a great way to serve the community, interact people with common interests, and discuss interesting research and practical problems.

    As a crucial role in the success of the conference, session chairs are trusted to propose the theme of a session, invite four speakers, and run the 75-minute session for the event. Note that INFORMS limits speakers to ONE presentation at this year's annual meeting.

    To facilitate the scheduling, important due dates are included below.
    March 14: Deadline for collecting the intention of Session Chairs
    May 2: Deadline for Session Chairs to invite Speakers
    May 16: Deadline for Speakers to submit abstracts
    August 1: Deadline for Speakers' registration

    If you are interested in chairing a session, please kindly send an email to hzhong@escp.eu by March 10th, with a tentative session title and favorably a brief description (optional). We look forward to your session proposals!

    Whether you are available to chair a session or not, we would appreciate your help forwarding this opportunity to other interested individuals or suggesting names whom we should specifically invite to chair a session.

    Thank you very much for your contribution!
