    In addition to regular presentations, the conference will feature plenary talks by leading experts in optimization and machine learning, including Simge Küçükyavuz and Sanjeeb Dash, with more speakers and workshops to be announced soon. Contributed and invited talks are also open to all communities.

    This year, we also aim to foster a more interactive and engaging conference experience, featuring workshops and sessions designed to promote networking and dialogue about the future of computing, research, and generative AI. The conference will take place at the iconic Hart House in Toronto, a historic venue renowned for its architecture, which we believe will provide the perfect atmosphere for our event.
