    Please save the date for the 2026 Mixed Integer Programming Workshop (MIP 2026), which will be held May 18-21, 2026, at the University of Connecticut, Stamford campus.

    The twenty-third edition of the MIP workshop will continue many of the core traditions that have made this workshop a gathering place for the community, and we invite you to join us and participate in

    • A single track of invited speakers showcasing the latest trends in theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of mixed integer programming and discrete optimization.

    • A poster session, including a best poster competition among selected student finalists, for which submissions will open later this year.

    • The 2026 Land-Doig MIP Competition on GPU-Accelerated Primal Heuristics for MIP with rules and details to be announced soon!


    MIP 2026 is supported by the
    Mixed Integer Programming Society (MIPS), a section of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS). Please keep an eye out for more information by visiting the website at https://www.mixedinteger.org/2026, and stay tuned for announcements about more ways to participate.

    On behalf of the MIP 2026 Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing you in Stamford!
