    Dear Colleagues,

    We are organizing sessions for the Global Optimization Track at the 2026 INFORMS Optimization Society Conference in Atlanta, GA (March 20-22, 2026). If you are interested in chairing a session or giving a talk, please either send us your details or enter them in the appropriate tab at the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kMV7ZIUVqcQ0HVLMLvpjrU_8HnGCQ-ftT8d1B3Z29Ik/edit?usp=sharing

    Important Information

    • Each speaker may give only one talk at the conference.
    • Session Chair Deadline: November 1, 2025. Please indicate your interest by this date. Each session must include four speakers, so we encourage early proposals.
    • Abstract Submission Deadline: November 15, 2025.
    • Refereed Proceedings: Presenters have the option to submit papers to the conference's refereed proceedings. While this is handled by a separate committee, authors must first submit an abstract through the general submission system (either as part of an invited session or as a contributed submission). More information can be found on the conference website.

    Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

    Best regards,

    Harsha Nagarajan (harsha@lanl.gov)
