    Dear colleagues,

    The upcoming INFORMS Annual Meetings will be hosted in Seattle, Washington during October 20-23, 2024. We are delighted to invite session chairs in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) cluster at INFORMS 2024. 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 with 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.

    April 17: Deadline for collecting the intention of Session Chairs

    May 1: Deadline for Session Chairs to invite Speakers

    May 15: 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 April 10, 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!

    Best Regards,
