Hey William! I just got to Seattle. Heading to the hotel to check in before I journey to downtown.
What's the link to the engagement app you mentioned ?

Sure. Message me in the INFORMS/Engagefully app when you get to Seattle. I'm probably walking to Pike Place on Saturday before I take in a couple vendor sessions.

Thank you for mentioning some of the good food places. I have been asking google to show me fun things to do at Seattle since it is my first time of visiting this vibrant city. I will definitively want to join you for this for sure. Thanks again!

Echoing many of the other responses, I'm looking forward to meeting long-time friends and making new ones. I especially enjoy the Minority Issues Forum events as they are like an annual reunion.
I almost always find something interesting in the technical program. Since my research varies depending on what challenges have reared their heads, I enjoy the variety of talks and usually find some inspiration or new approach to try when I get back to the office or to share with a colleague.
Since we'll be in Seattle, I'm looking forward to going to a couple specific restaurants. I spent a lot of time there doing some consulting with Amazon last year. I'll definitely be getting a pizza at Willmott's Ghost. There's the chowder place in Pike Place Market. It's a toss up whether I'll grab a sandwich and mac & cheese from Beechers or take the hike to Ma'Ono/Rachel's for some strangely good chicken tenders. Hit me up if you want to join me!

For those of you attending the upcoming INFORMS Annual Meeting, what's the one thing you're most looking forward to? Is it a particular session, a plenary speaker, networking...? We look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
