The 2009 Annual Meeting in San Diego was a huge success! Whether you were lucky enough to attend the meeting or just wishing you had attended, read the 2009 blog to learn about all the exciting events that took place.

The 2010 Annual Meeting is on track to be equally rewarding. An enterprising program is being planned that spans a host of intellectual and festive activities. Keynote speakers, tutorials and parallel sessions will provide a showcase of the richness that is operations research and the management sciences.

The theme of the 2010 meeting, Energizing the Future, recognizes one of the most pressing challenges that planners, analysts and technologists face in securing the quality of life that we have come to expect. There will be a rich variety of talks, panels and tutorials that address these and many other challenges our community is so well placed to tackle. Healthcare delivery, the environment, sustainability and e-commerce are some of the critical topics that will be highlighted. The combination of a great location, an expansive program and top-notch speakers ensures an invaluable experience.

The meeting will take place at the Austin Convention Center, a premier 60-room facility with the added bonus of complimentary wireless Internet, and the Hilton Austin, a first-class hotel adjacent to the Center. For those whose schedule allows, we have lined up a number of trips to local manufacturers as well as several museum and outdoor tours.
