FINAL CALL for Optimization Modeling & Deployment Sessions at 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting

There’s still time to join our Community Sessions in the area of “Optimization Modeling & Deployment Software” at the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting, to be held November 1-4, 2026 in San Francisco (meetings.informs.org/wordpress/annual/).

We invite talks on all aspects of modeling software and tools for optimization, including representation of mathematical optimization problems, interfaces from modeling languages to solvers, and deployment of optimization applications.

To confirm your interest in speaking in these sessions, please email the session organizers — Bob Fourer <4er@ampl.com>, Susanne Heipcke <SusanneHeipcke@fico.com>, and Adam Christensen <achristensen@gams.com> — by May 5, so that we can send you an invitation code and instructions for making a submission through the conference website. You will have until May 20 to complete your submission, and until July 22 to register for the conference.

General information about Invited Submissions can be found on the conference website, at meetings.informs.org/wordpress/annual/abstract-submission/. Please note that INFORMS limits each speaker to one presentation at this year’s Annual Meeting.
